Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays everyone! Updated version being uploaded at the moment! Don't hesitate to reach out if you find any bugs/glitches that aren't mentioned in the help file,  or just have any feedback. Stay safe and enjoy time with family!

Side note: I have no idea what I'm doing with video recording. I just thought I'd give it a try just to do something different. Sorry in advanced! :)

General Changes:

- Aarlin and Kara will now be the only ones who can use Manuals. They will also be the only characters with passive abilities in the Alter menu. New characters who join the party will have their own unique mechanics in place of manuals/passives. This change is to give each character their own identity in combat.

- FP popup added to Inner Focus and other future abilities that directly give FP when used.

- Rage now removes 5 FP from the target once it expires, versus -1 per turn.

- Aarlin's Sanctuary ability cost reduced from 25 MP to 15 MP.

- New tutorial for Quinten's skills added.

- New sections added to the Battle Guide: Manuals and Characters. I hope to make this reference item its own screen at some point.

- Several bug fixes across the board, including some potentially game breaking bugs after the Tella Forest boss.

- A certain story boss has had a visual FP gauge added.

- A certain story boss in Tella Forest (Normal Mode only) will now only use their max FP move one time.

- A certain story boss in Tella Forest (Hard Mode only) has higher FP regeneration.

- Added some money chests to the caves.

Changes to Quinten:

- Barrier cost reduced (all versions)

- Barrier potency reduced (all versions)

- Upon breaking, barriers now grant Quinten FP (all versions)

- Quinten can no longer learn Motivation.

- Added Stratagem, End Stratagem, and Observant Tactics. Quinten can now channel Stratagem to weaken enemies and increase their taken damage. Channeling causes Quinten to lose his MP each turn, and when he has no MP the effect fades until he gains some back.

- Quinten's magic damage has been reduced across the board.

- Quinten starts at lvl 5 instead of lvl 4.

- Manual: Scholar has been replaced with the accessory Cealian Ring (10% more agility).

If you have a saved file at the end of the current demo, it may have some conflicts with these changes. When I launch part 2, I will provide an appropriate save file at the end of part 1 so that you won't need to replay anything.
