Hey guys, here's the long-awaited EBF5 Version 2 Beta!
Please read this post carefully.
To get the filesize under 200MB for Patreon, music is very compressed and some tracks are missing. Translations will be done later, so it's English only for now. There's likely a lot of bugs at the moment, but all the new stuff should be playable!
Here's a spoiler-free summary of what's new:
• 52 "new" foes, with a large portion of them being bosses or mini bosses.
• 31 new achievements.
• 16 new Flair equips, 12 new skills and 2 new limit breaks.
• 50 new monster cards - a new item type.
• A new biome, 3 new dungeons, and many secret areas.
• Significant balancing and quality of life changes.
• A "Cheats and Challenges" menu that lets you customize the difficulty.
• A "Custom Quest" menu that lets you start a new game with major changes - such as playing with only one character, a new set of equip stats, different foes in each battle, etc.
You can continue playing from your V1 save, or start from the beginning.
Either way, the new content should be quite easy to find with a bit of backtracking.
You can share videos of V2 - just don't spoil any of the new content in the video title, thumbnail, or description. You can specify that it's version 2, but that's it!
Here's some important notes:
• Double check that your old saved game is fully compatible with V2 - it should be! You'll notice a lot of gaps in your collections due to new stuff being added. If you've done all the sidequests in V1, you should also have 2 new skills and 1 new limit right away.
• The new Custom Game, cheats and challenges settings will be the trickiest to test - since they may effect stuff they're not supposed to, and conflict with eachother in unintended ways. It's gonna take many playthroughs of the game to get familiar with those settings, and they're likely not balanced very well right now.
• Many monster cards have been added to existing treasure chests. If you've already opened a chest that contains one, you'll have to backtrack to the area with that open chest, and you'll receive it when the opened chest is loaded.
• Some V1 equips have been moved to new areas to spread them out better. Don't be surprised if you find equips that you already own.
Anyway, here's the setup instructions:
Download both files.
Unzip the installation folder.
Put Epic Battle Fantasy 5.swf in that folder.
Then run Epic Battle Fantasy 5.exe (or run the .swf for the Flash version)
