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!

hello producer :D
i love you work..
i got some problems here, could you help me..
when i was in the middle of the game, especially when i will fight with the titan (pyramid where to get earth cyrtal)as my last scenario of 3 scenario which i chose, i got stucked and appeared on screen that is "Script 'Tsuki Action Condition' line 94:NoMethodError occured. undefined method formula_conditions for nil:NilClass"like that. should i download the game again or not?
thank you....
note: this is the latest patch 1.69.

There was a slip up and I put a beta version of the newest patch in the public folder, and the bug was related to that. Did you get 1.69 or 1.70? I deleted the beta of 1.70, it contained adjustments to Hard mode which caused this error. Try getting the 1.69 patch and replacing the Enemies in the Data folder with the one from that, it should fix the problem.
Hello :D
sorry for late replying
i'm sorry it wasn't 1.69 but 1.70. btw, for this problem, i have fixed it by copy the data and play it in 1.69. it was success. the game can go on without any troubles.

however, in patch tower, where i fight with Tanaka (patch 1.70), i also find the problem. when it is unavoidable to lose to continue the story, it becomes game over. the game just end.
coincidentally, i also fix the problem. when i replay for several times, i try to remove the aishee from the party while in game-battle and leave karina with tanaka, and the game is able to continue.

the game is running well so far until, when fievel is dressed up by karina and aishee to get levistone from sultan, after dag (red mage) complains it and leave to the left of screen, the game is freezed without any dialogs appeared (but the person with blue skirt near well is still move). T.T
sorry for inconvenience
thank you

That battle should have a story event that ends it... and I thought I put in a failsafe that would let the game continue in case something went wrong. I will take a look at it. As for the issue with Dag, he wasn't set to through so he probably somehow ran into an errant NPC offscreen and softlocked the game. Place this in your Data folder, it should fix the issue.

Ummm... there is no Tower of Zot in LoB, do you perhaps have Alter Destiny as well? Because Map139 in that game is Tower of Zot - 3f.

hello RydiaMist
i got a problem again.. :D
when the ship is crashed after mini-game that shoots the bomb (got 2000 scores T.T) and then everyone wakes up, in the world map, there isn't characters to move, so it is just a screen that i can move everywhere, the battle is still appeared and normal.
i try to enter Jipang village, and i try to move the north (still with the only screen to move), i see all characters gathered there freezed.
You're coming across all sorts of weird things that haven't happened before, sorry. :/

Do you have a save before that part?

Sent you a fix, try doing the scene again if you don't mind. Don't worry, you get a chance to replay the airship game as much as you want later to get a high score.

It works :D
Thanks again :D
At the end, when you beat the last boss, the game cuts to the map screen without showing the standard victory screen. How did you do that?

A troop event that runs when the boss' HP hits 0, that heals the boss slightly, then damages it again, then after the collapse effect plays fades the screen out and ends the battle.

I tried that, and it didn't work. Here are 2 pictures. The boss names have been blocked for obvious reasons. Here are the pictures. http://www.mediafire.com/view/w2hegiq2e6ooiuf/1.png and http://www.mediafire.com/view/85gb5bd6o3yecy8/2.png. First picture is from my game. Second one is from yours.

Sorry, forgot that you also will need the script End Phase Triggers by Tsukihime in order for that to work. Been a while since I set it up.
I downloaded the game, but when I try to open it I get the following error message:

Script 'Input EX' line 703: RuntimeError occurred.

Load Library: xinput 1_3

Does anyone know what my issue is?

Something to do with directX it is mentioned somewhere in this forum. the way I did it was to search my pc for xinput 1_3 and copy and paste into game folder.Hope that helps you
