Why do you like farming? You said here that you people to farm. But....WHY?!?!?!?!? And THIS MUCH?!? I don't have to farm to get enough Poison Blossoms or Rainbow Stones to craft things; why can't all items be like that? It is just not fun to replay a level repeatedly while fervently hoping for a luck-based event.My rant aside, I'd be happy to write the strategy gu

Important: You should start a new game instead of loading from old save file. Lot of new info has been added and using old save file will messes up the new content. For testing, I made it so all your characters starts with 20 misc s items and 9999 stones. //====System=====================+ Final boss, Gen has been added.+ Gen has 3 attacks: Wings of Light, Laser Barrage and Data Scramble.+ Data Scramble heals Gen, deal random damage and cause your Spirit Beast to change randomly. It can’t be dodged.+ Game mode has been added: Pleasant Dream, Lucid Dream and Nightmare.+ Currently, no opening events and ending event has been implemented, therefore, you can’t transfer your characters into different dream modes. + Tips of the night system have been added. + Nights counts has been added.//==Beasts========================+ Ladon has been slightly nerfed, salamander’s explosion has bigger range.+Phoenix bug fixed+ Griffin speed bug fixed.//==Characters======================+ Extra playable character Esis has been added. Esis is like the Lover in original Ge.ne.sis, she will only be available for those who donate.+ Esis has 2 attack: Wings of Shadow and Wings of Esis+ Wings of Shadow deal high damage and have big splash range. However, it takes 4 Energy to use. Avoid using Arcane Earring on Esis. If she runs out of Energy, she can’t shot.+ Ultimate Wing deal extremely high damage to all enemies on screen and keep draining Energy. When the spell is active, Esis is invincible. The spell is canceled when Energy hit zero.+When player play as Esis, they don’t have access to spirit beast.+ Esis will cast her signature spell, Grand Cosmos, if she get hit. + Esis’s perk is Spirit Link. She receives all bonuses, perks and attributes of the character she replaces. She also receive passive perk bonuses from the Spirit Beast that she replace.//===Equipment=====================+ New equipment Master of Zodiac has been added. You will receive this item by beasting Zodiac Memory in Lucid Dream or Nightmare mode.+ Zodiac Memory only drops 1 Zodiac Memory in each mode. Therefore, you can only have total of 2 Zodiac Master Item (one drop in Lucid Dream and one drop in Nightmare mode)+ Zodiac Master item increase attributes by 5 in Lucid Dream and 10 in Nightmare. + All bosses ‘s drop rates has been increased. Most of them has a (75%,75%) drops and can drop the same item twice. //Pasword==========New password is : “wingofesis”To access Esis, hold down A, T, and L in the map screen.

When Sisi is asking about the Azure and Crimson stones on Sunset Trail, the second arrow is not pointing at the Azure Stone counter, but the middle stone thing.Also, Are you still going to keep them as Black and White? If so, then maybe we could change the name from Azure and Crimson to something else?Question:If Esis can't create Golden Apples, what is it doing in the shop? O_OIs Dodge rate Maxed out at 85? I have Nera with 38 Agi, and she's not gained any dodge since 34 Agi, although I have a very nice attack rate of 9.5
EternalLurker
The Golden Apples in the shop notify you that they're an obtainable item, and you get 'em from a boss later. I think it's fine and a nice teaser.Yes, I've mentioned before that 85 is the Dodge cap. It's still nice to pump Agility, since attack speed improvements are actually BETTER at higher numbers (ie increasing attack speed from 1 to 2 is less effective than increasing it from 8 to 9). Try wielding x2 Berserker Soul and watch your damage shoot through the roof, since An buffed them recently. (And I used to use 'em all the time the buff... <_< )By the way, An, boss drop rates are perfect now. Thank you very much.

As per Si.Ner.Ge's suggestion, I've started making movies to illustrate my points. Here's New Endurance in an MPEG-4 format. Unfortunately it seems to have been incredibly accelerated, but just step through it (probably the right arrow key for most programs) frame by frame and you'll see that it's, um, impossible for even Leo to kill Gely.Garg. Granted, it's Gely.Garg, but still, holy shit. o_OI'm not sure if this is intentional, but is Gen's beast-swapping ability not supposed to swap breath Energy costs? I didn't record the rest of that stage, but I beat Gen by surviving (again, holy shit) until he swapped me to Leviathan, at which point I easily kept him locked down infinitely with Chrono Vorte

Speaking of earned items, Leo's dropped item (Life Seed IIRC) is unobtainable because even while skipping everything the cutscene with Reciful v Gen takes too long. The movie illustrates t
