Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. We couldn’t do this without you!

[h2]Update[/h2]
This release features a change to Pyra’s first mission. We’ve heard the feedback that the intro feels slow and has too many “fetch quests.” While we intended this as a way to underscore the annoyance it would cause Pyra, it ended up annoying our players.

To address this, the Mayor will only give Pyra one of the following quests:

• Deliver letters to plains guards
  
• See Clay for his delegated tasks
  
• Visit Sage to do their tasks
  

We hope this will make Pyra’s storyline feel less laborious in the beginning so players can get to the action sooner. Enjoy!

[h2]Known Issues[/h2]

• 3D monsters show as white squares in the Bestiary - all except the Rock Golem - we are working to add all the proper static images for a future update.
  
• Running away from some battles still shows the results screen for some reason
  
• Opening the overworld map causes monsters to respawn - also sometimes causes a battle to trigger immediately.
  

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed: Temple watergate sound was louder than sound settings
  
• Fixed: Editing sound controls from main menu would cause ongoing “click” sound when navigating or moving player.
  
• Fixed: “Continue” option would not show properly on fresh installs if the player did not have any Atlas saves
  
• Fixed: (Visual) Equipment and Accessories would not show effects on Health/AE
  
• Fixed: Audio settings changed from main menu would change back after loading a save
  
• Fixed: (Visual) Character profiles would show wrong for supporting party members when loading alternate saves (such as the Hermit showing as Pyra)
  
• Fixed: When loading a save from in-game, player movement could still happen while the screen was fading out

[h2]Updates[/h2]

• Added a new persistent Device Settings separate from cloud saves for things like resolutions and the cloud save setting itself.
  
  • This will be used for any settings that are meant specifically for your device rather than to be shared across devices.
    

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed: Cloud save toggling wouldn’t properly reload data from the appropriate app data location (either from the cloud, or the machine)
  
• Fixed: Bestiary data wouldn’t stay “stored” after quitting and reopening the game
