Update Description

Note: This is one of those real Frontline updates, where sounds are missing, some graphics are placeholder etc! The gameplay should hold up well, though!

About the patch

Unlike the recent patches, this one actually ties in to the main story in a significant way, by introducing some end-game "challenges". These are optional, but their rewards will serve a purpose at the final portion (which is yet to come).

We've also moved boss battles to the arena instead of the Memory Room, and you can now refight all the bosses in the game! Also, some more bosses have been given drops, which will be handed out retroactively to characters that have already beaten said bosses in Story Mode.

Since the content is quite spread out, the easiest way to find it is to use the completion tracker on the world map!

With this patch, we've reached the point we've been aiming for in terms of Story Mode side-content. After a period of bug-testing and final layer of polish, we'll bundle all these Frontline patches together and drop them on Stable in one big package!


Next Up: Since we want the final update before release to be the completion of Story Mode, and since the "end" of Arcade Mode will have some cross-over story significance, we'll actually be finishing up Arcade Mode next! We'll have to add the latest floors, a final boss, and fill the place out with some more quests!

That secret boss fight was great, I gotta say. But oh man, it'll be years before I manage to S-rank all the new arena challenges... 99% completion for me, I guess.

Oh also all of my characters' skin and clothes have turned black
