This one's for all you Black Mages out there.

A number of Black Mage weapons (and stats!) have received well-earned love, along with something new - a major overhaul to boss magic resistance. Black Mage/Blue Rose will finally be able to play a greater role beyond buffing their colleagues during boss fights! Also, there are a few Dryad buffs...just to make sure she's as spritely as can be.

"Another release so soon," you ask? Well yes, but this one is special. It marks a major turning point for the project - the ending point. It is time for me to move on.

This mod has been sort of a flagship around here. That wasn't really planned. Just sort of happened that way. My other releases have been stable for a while, so FF1 will join them in that sense, as well that new ideas and minor fixes will collect over time. Which brings me to something I must embolden for you - I will still read bug reports, AND feedback!

I feel short of breath as I finish this post. Not uncommon before a release. But while I've felt it coming for a few months, this feels different. Heavier.

With any luck, I have saved the best for last - let this mark the dawn of a new project. In fact, that's exactly what I'm going to resume work on once I've finished writing here.

To anyone who has ever loved this first installment in the franchise like me;
to all who have played, loved and/or complained about my own rendition;
thank you.

Oh... no, it's wandered out again.

This next chapter is all about the happy little colors.

Highlights aside, there are a lot of important fixes and balances in 3.5. For that reason alone you will want it. This growth was driven by the lack of a release deadline, and the development of the new features themselves.

3.5 hosts several new pretties - the Tricky Hat, Steel Cloak, Songar Whip, Sabre Harp, Triune Anima, Star Blade and Omen Lantern. Regarding the new proc curve, players will notice a dramatic increase in weapon utility, especially at low levels and in Magecore.

I'd be remiss if I didn't plug the new LAZULI upgrade, the namesake of this release. The legendary stone will now add three permanent stat bonuses to the warrior leading your party...meaning you get to decide who receives them! Choose wisely.

Anyhoo, there is far too much to list here. I recommend pursuing the changelog for details on all the highlights since they are many, and very awesome.

"The fashions of reality change."

A few years ago everything was "You Deserve This" and "We're Always" and "We're Committed".
Now, every god damn slogan is a pun.

I can prove that the morons who concluded this was a good idea are wrong, because I hate it. They aren't eliciting a cheap laugh from me. And even if they did, I'm still no more likely to consume their product.

They will, however, receive my back button, my X button, and my middle finger.

that the new update is definitely coming out tomorrow. are you then curious to learn of more? if so please welcome continue scrolling to learn more about Manall FF1 Release Date 2025.

A number of known well influencer or Reddit members recent posting around the topic have recently been congregating in a speculatory of either October 16, or if not then if possibly the twenty-first. some however are concern for certain mobements within Nintendo recently, may involve C&D (cease and desist) before recorded project can launch.

A corporation like Nintendo can re-release games from 2017 for eighty dollars - twenty dollars more than the original price - while burning its history and fan-built modding scenes down to the frame.

These people aren't our friends. They may own a piece of our collective childhoods, but we don't owe them shit. And we aren't entitled to their capitalistic, anti-consumer abuse.

That includes you. Don't buy that new console. It's the only way they'll change.

Don't stop now - they are taking notes to improve their next attempt.

They're always taking notes.

Update Sept. 21: It will definitely be out this year.
No specifics until the big day, but 3.5 is slow cooking nicely over here.

Currently sitting on ten new feature adds and a dizzying amount of polish.

Fascism is kind of like discrimination's final form. It is either defeated, or eats everything until there is nothing left to eat but itself.

I'm just saying we can't actually be sure it's great, and maybe we should think about some sort of installment plan.

You ever play a 4X game or RTS? Know how once you have all the bases or planets, the only thing left to do is unally your sole remaining partner and betray them? Heehee, don't worry - first they have to finish a-moving their armies and right-clicking opposing planets with auto combat enabled.

There's a fair amount of bluffing going on right now. But that guy is really just there to lay the groundwork. There is an entire legion of wealthies out there, and here on PrisonPlanet.tv we finish our imaginary wars.

In fact, you can think about Earth like a corporation, too. There are innumerable factions and slightly less innumerable species pouring resources into keeping the prison system running - just like investors. Maybe they dumped some poor souls off and want assurances, so through those inmates they own some material equivalent of stock. But what's really awesome is that no one down here even knows these so-called investors exist. They'd rather have "discussions" where primitive ideas get massaged around at the speed of evolution.

It's like when people said Avenged Sevenfold's 'The Stage' was "a discussion album". What utterly useless dialogue.

I regret to inform your "discussions" that this company has been thriving for milleniums, and was planned for millions of years. Millions. We have a western nation on the verge of martial law after two hundred and fifty. There is simply no putting into words the amount of dedication, tech, and hate that a prison like Earth requires in order to be conceived and maintained.

Please remember that the next time your favorite sci-fi show references human arrogance. It ain't just a throwaway line.

One of the only interesting figures left might just be how many layers an individual is trapped by. Oh and speaking of, did you know another layer is currently under construction? It should be ready within your next ten years. Bezos is playing a role, if I remember right.

I wonder if 3.5 will be done before the next event.

Ozzy is off to his next life. I had only just weeks ago watched Metallica's tribute to Hole in the Sky, knowing full well how much they adored him.

My music, and the music of many of my favorite artists, would not be the same and might not exist had he not first graced all of us first.

May he do so again.

I love watching people slowly leak and discover "Non-debunkable sights" and "Leaked evidence of alien languages?!?!111" Every time I'm thinking...I mean, yeah guys. Those things were always there. The universe didn't care if you caught on or not. That's just the easy stuff.

But hey, moments like this one will open some eyes. It's better than nothing.

You will know the floodgates are out of commission when these channels grow beyond books and painfully roundabout podcasts. Long form delivery is just the infant stage.

The next update may not come for some time. But to prove it exists, here's a nicety I think everyone will be elated for.

Interesting how the U.S. has its own king two hundred and fifty years after seeking independence from one. So was the king the problem, or just that you weren't the king?

Morals don't mean shit in a demoralized, destabilized and normalized society. Besmenov was right. Cyberpunk Edgerunners was lauded far too much for being badass and not nearly enough for its futuristic precision.

I NEVER STOP WHEN I SAY I'M GONNA.

You'd think. But no. I don't learn.

Celebrating over 11K downloads!

Magecore players are getting both a new lantern and a new candle. Speaking of, there are (finally) two new candle styles! Fighter lovers are up for their third patch within a year in order to better separate from their thieving comrades...DO THE BEEF, GIRLS!

3.4a also fixes BUGS - very important ones - and reins in some monster shenanigans. Lastly-not-least-ly: I have buffed the readme file to better aid with installation.

One more for today. A teeny-small update for Diablo, marking the project's ten-year anniversary! Now that's just ridiculous.

1.9 will add a new item, fix / improve a few others, and tune a few balance keys...including the infamous Dancing Lanterns.

Modding will go for a nice long nap now.
Thank you for bothering with my little corner.
HAVE FUN OR ELSE ♥

If a playbook is drawn up, there is intent to use it.

This will not remain on the other side of your ocean. Nor mine, nor anybody's. Over its course it will spare no group, no individual. The camps are already being filled and more are being built. The messages are being sent in every possible way.

An answer must be devised for this "do it anyway" movement. I do not wish this world to lose centuries of progress. It must be stopped, if nothing but for the children of tomorrow.

This is a sentence. Another sentence follows that sentence, whose purpose has a rather roundabout, redundant way of saying there hasn't been much in the way of rambling lately.

And the final sentence of this prelude promises to solve that dilemma.

Can't believe it myself, but FFXIV won me over pretty accidentally-like. It's way too damn complicated at times, but there is lots of appreciable detail, too. The music ranges from epic and heartfelt to deep and sublime. I am also quite content to do nowhere near everything that it offers. But I suppose you don't want to do everything in the real world, either.

Kind of surprised how good Eisbrecher's latest record is. If you like industrial/electronic stuff you'll probably like Kaltfront. Perplexing though is that they got practically zero attention on it, unlike the last album.

Bit of a shame, but sadly music is worthless on Earth now. I'm just glad it got made. Truly, when I learned Noel Pix had departed I wondered how any of their trademark elements could possibly be preserved. Instead, Kaltfront proved not only a good step forward, but it ended up being the only record I liked every song from! There's this weird thing where I'm a fan of 80-90 percent of the material, but never all. Interesting.

Wait. Shit. That means I can't wear their merch.

By the way, I've gotten a few bug reports over the years from people who all had one thing in common - they were using OpenEmu. Those bugs were not the result of a bad rom, patcher or header - they've got nothing to do with me, either.

Don't play my mods with OpenEmu - you will encounter bugs. A perfectly good, regular ass emulator will do you swimmingly. To further that end, both RHDN and the Mods page have been updated to specifically recommend several.

yojimbo.

You can barely say anything in youtube comments without it getting deleted. Half wondering if it's targeting specific users now

Did I mention yet on this blog that comments about the prison planet get scrubbed? Found out by accident a few months back. Now really, that has got nothing to do with current buzz topics. Fascinating huh? Like someone wanted to prepare for if it became one

..yeah. I doubt it will. It is just is too many layers above the reality people live in day to day. Only way I can see that knowledge permeating this sphere at scale would be after it is too late; the entire planet is designed to prevent it from happening at all and AFAIK it never has

also, fuck that nintendo switch "2"

(changelog)

My voice is far from large. And I did not want this to be my first writing of the year. But the western state of affairs will have ripple effects for generations across this world.

This is fascism. This is 1984. This is Animal Farm. This is a monument to the suffering of old men who got their way for far too long. And the new right hand, who keeps his kid on his shoulders to help soak up bullets, literally did the thing.

I wonder whether women or trans people will be first to enter the camps.

To those who voted for this, I hope you are ready; siding with the bad guy never ends well. Your movies should have taught you that. "Move fast and break things" is not how you lead a world, nor a business. And a nation is not a business.

It will not be long before protests are outlawed. It is already being discussed. Meanwhile, criminals are being freed for speaking favorably of the cult.

My 'About' page was recently scrubbed from my website (I added it back) and given how fast things are being atomized it probably won't be the last thing taken from me. But I will not forget who I am, nor who I was, even if I am invalidated of every last conceivable identifier.

Spirit above all.
