October 26th, 2017 Update - Massive Content Update

Oh boy, this one's a doozy. Strap in Challengers and Champions, the ride is long and I can't talk about this update enough. When I say massive, I mean massive. This update is so massive in fact, I highly recommend you start up a new file. Not like that matters though, as there was a bug that prevented you from progressing past the F Rank. That's been fixed, by the way. Okay, let's jump into the thick of it. Skills, Enemies, and More!! To put this briefly - as best as I can - Each and every Skill in the game has been changed, updated, and re-created to be better than what they once were. The same goes for Enemies.

• Skills have more unique Action Sequences.

• Enemies have more unique selection in how they battle.

• You have more options now as a player.

View the patch notes at the bottom to see what I mean. Solo Mode! Solo Mode is a new addition to Mythic Victory Arena. Instead of having someone fight alongside you in the Arena, you can go in alone and receive a power bonus for fighting by yourself. The Champion can explain it for you here. New Art! New Music! Miabun has been hard at work creating character art for the game and hard at work with her schooling. Felia is here with her glorious Absolute Territory and Jackassery. Ralph and Denira also saw a visual update. More to come in the future. New music has been added to Mythic Victory Arena thanks to Anttis Instrumentals and their repository of tracks. More will be added in the future as the game nears completion. A Brand New World! With this update, you can now explore the Island of Terani and the Arena. Alongside them are new menus, which have been added to every shop as well, for your ease of access when playing the game. A Brand New Information Hud! When you beat an Arena Fight you get Arena Coin for your hard work. That information is shown in a clean style at the end of battle now, instead of in a text box. The Patch Notes! Is your head hurting yet? No? These notes should help seal your fate. ADDITIONS:
