Latest Patch: 1.69. If you have an earlier version, please download the latest patch as soon as possible.

The download has been updated to version 1.69. It includes all fixes up to this point. There is no need to re-download if you have patched in the fixes separately.

You know that game many aspiring devs create? The one starring their friends, often times based on a chat room, or some forums, or a MMO... or perhaps a fangame that barely resembles its source material. The one that gets maybe a half hour of gameplay finished and is completely unintelligible to anyone except that group of friends. Yeah, that one. Now, what if someone actually saw that project all the way through, and attempted to actually make it a fun, accessible, and playable game that was faithful to its source material?

Enter Legend of Balance. This game originally started out as a fun little project for friends, starring characters from Final Fantasy XIV. Over time, and with a ton of effort, it changed into a complete game of its own. It still stars our characters, and there are still a few injokes, but the plot has been set up as such that any Final Fantasy fan can get into the game and enjoy it as a light hearted Final Fantasy romp. Players of FFXIV will find quite a bit to enjoy as well. The story of the game takes place inbetween the end of FFXIV 1.0 and the start of A Realm Reborn(if you haven't played FFXIV, this part probably doesn't matter, and the game can be standalone).

The game revolves around a group of heroes, champions of the realm of Eorzea. In the midst of an intense battle to decide the fate of Eorzea, the heroes are transported away before facing certain death at the hands of Bahamut. Finding themselves separated in a brand new world, the heroes begin a journey to reunite and find a way home. However what starts off as a simple quest quickly unfolds into a classic journey of crystals, great evil, and steadfast allies. Before this adventure ends, they will discover the truth behind this strange new world, and uncover the binds that tie it to their own home and beyond.

-30 to 40 hours of gameplay, including a multitude of sidequests.

-Enjoy a faithfully recreated Final Fantasy battle system. Everything is as you remember it from the classics!

-Utilize classic abilities, including commands such as Jump, Runic, Blitz, Mime, Throw, Mix, Blue Magic, Dualcast, and much more, along with new commands and abilities based on other games in the series, such as Draw Out from Tactics.

-Equip Magicites to gain access to powerful summons and customize your stat growth.

-A huge cast of unique playable characters, including several hidden ones.

-Find and use faithfully recreated equipment. Favorites like the Ultima Weapon, Illumina, Brave Blade/Chicken Knife, Offering, and much, much more is all here to find and use to become unstoppable!

-Dozens of sidequests ensure there's plenty to do, with no need for excess grinding.

-Face off against familiar foes and brand new ones, including a nostalgia filled bonus dungeon for those who complete the main story.

-Facing a foe that your current party can't handle? Switch party members anytime, even in the middle of a fight!

-Buy rare and unique items at the Auction House, and battle in the Colosseum!

-Take part in minigames, including fishing and an arcade-style airship shooter.

-Customizable Battle Speed, Battle Mode, and Difficulty will get you the experience you want, be it tough as nails or a more relaxed game.

Playing the game at higher resolution

Hey all! I just wanted to post a link to an upscaler that will let you play pretty much any rpgmaker game at a much higher resolution.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/magpie.mirror/

Download this and follow the instructions, open Magpie, then the game, then press alt+F11. I'd suggest using either the Anime4k or CRT upscalers for LoB. This will let you play the game in fullscreen and it will look really nice!

Azran's replacement is Eden, shes a catgirl who is in the bar in Aquaria. Cutter's does not open up till after you complete the game, that is where the bonus dungeon is.
well i cant find her anywhere in bar
Hey people, can anyone tell me where is the phoenix magicite?
It is not mentioned in the faq section.
@arzedna: Have you spoken to Azran and said you wanted to recruit him? If so, Eden will be at the bar in Aquaria, right at the counter.

@Darius87: It will be added, the quest starts at Port Enaya in the building there.
@rydiamist : well i was spoke with him but when i go to aquaria there is no such person called eden .

and i was finished the game without azran around . that cutter cave is quite depressing .. but thanks to demi + limit ring + soul of thamasa its really become easy to deal with . but i think its to overpower for the boss that we can generate 200k damage from a single mage . just my opinion hehe . but really this ff is the best i think bcs another ff cant generate that kind of damage
@rydiamist and i want to know how much hp czar dragon has? it take forever to beat him even with 500 k damage from a single round lol @_@
@Arzedna
Yeah if you build your characters correctly, you can pull off some crazy numbers which is honestly intentional. If you end up playing on Hard Mode the Bonus Dungeon is pretty challenging, even with big numbers.

As far as Azran goes, I think you probably already talked to Eden at the bar and you just need to bring a visor to him to recruit him. Sent you a PM about it.
Errr wait, Demi isn't supposed to work on those bosses. Sorry, but that's something I need to fix. =(

Czar Dragon has about 2.5 million HP on normal mode. On hard he has more than that.
Latest patch updated to 1.61.

-Fixed an issue where a plot event could be seen in Port Aquaria earlier than intended.
-Fixed another issue where a Game Over would be gotten if certain characters were KOed ad the start of an event.
-Fixed an issue where the spell "Waterja" could break the damage limit naturally.
-Fixed an issue where the spell "Demi" worked on bosses in the bonus dungeon.

Also, the FAQ has been updated slightly, and Ashiee has put together a wonderful reference guide for almost every reference to other games/things in the game.
A question about Dark Ixion, please help me. Does he appear as a random fight in one of those four places of the world map or he appears as a light spot like the other hunts?
He appears as a light like other hunts. If he's not appearing try entering then exiting an area and looking around again. Also, it's a lot easier to search using the airship as opposed to the black chocobo. A few people have had some trouble finding him so I will probably post screenshots of the locations in the FAQ later.
Ok, thank you. I'll look for it again when I have the time.

Edit: I have tried it several times and it doesn`t appears. I enter and exit any place back to the world map and look in those four places again but no luck. Does it only appears sometimes or is that I don`t look in the correct place?
I finished the game and I loaded the clear data. There was a message that said a sound was heard from Cutter's Cry. I was wondering if you could remind me where it is? I don't wanna stop playing this game!

Thanks!
The Cutter's Cry is in the desert continent,the one in the south. The Cutter's Cry is the one that looks like a crater, to the east of Emerald.
How do you get the chest while fishing? I have tried many times but I can`t figure that out.

Edit: Nevermind, I already did. Every chest needs a different bait, right?
Different chests will require different strengths of rod, the same bait should work for them all.
I just wanted to chime in and say thank you for making such a great game. I'm about 8 hours in, and am having a blast. This game is everything I love in an RPG. I will be making full review as soon as I complete the game!

A quick question, I'm stuck in the desert tower, unable to progress past the robot boss. I'm not sure if I have to wait out the Boss until our characters summon something to beat it, or if I actually have to fight it using electricity. Any help would be appreciated!
