Balance & System Adjustments
- ◆New combat backgrounds added
- ◆Animated combat backgrounds play slightly faster
- ◆When winning against friendly enemies (for example Prof. Dr. Waldstein III.), their sprites no longer disappear at the end of the fight (since it is not a fight to the death)
- ◆The INT values of Olaf and Henry Hawkins were lowered
- ◆Goblin's Sword renamed to Goblin's Knife
- ◆New variations as well as special attacks of previously seen enemies added
- ◆New boss enemy added (details remain secret due to spoilers, but it is the strongest enemy in the game)
- ◆Many skills that target only one enemy can no longer be evaded — for skills targeting multiple enemies there is still (with few exceptions) an evasion chance; this does not affect the special attacks of John and Olaf, since neither is an experienced fighter
