[ Foreword ]
============
It's been over a year since our last update for this mod. We didn't plan for
the break to be this long, but sometimes real life takes precedence.
We appreciate your patience and the feedback you've given us during this time.
Now, we're excited to announce that a new version is finally here.
Thank you for your continued support!

==================
[ What's NEW!!!! ]
==================
Given that 2024 marks the 30th anniversary of the game, Version 2 contains many
significant updates. The main highlight is that all 400+ monsters and Espers
sprites received the Brave Steel makeover, redrawn to scale from the first pixel
to the last. Only about 30 monster sprites were reused from Brave Exvius, and
even those were enhanced before being incorporated. Alongside this, we upgraded
the bestiary. There are numerous fixes, including those found in the Sane Mod
for sprites and FLBs. the ff are the ones we can remember
- 30th anniversary wall paper
- Added 435 monster and Esper sprites
