Repeated intro
Hello hello, It's that time of the week! We first want to address the huge influx of new players, hello and welcome! The priority for localization dramatically changed this week. We are working as fast as we can with some companies to translate the game as soon as possible. This week's focus was primarily on balance (as you may have noticed from the title) but you'll notice a few goodies as well.

New auto-save created after choosing an option at Neow.
New auto-save created post-combat (when the reward screen appears).
