Raphael's Tower - 0.05 Details
I had a couple dozen hours free over the last few days, so progress is coming a little quicker than usual.
tldr build notes: new playable character is available for everyone doing the 5.0 alpha tests. Opt in instructions at the bottom. Find him through the Veil in Ruby's House at any point in the game. Quest designed for level 1 new save files.
Like main party characters, Eurus is not currently permitted in the Battlefront area.
0.05 [5.0 Alpha Build #5, Test Date: August 05, 2021] What's In This Version:
- Preparation for day 2 tie in is under way. Elena Katali will prompt Ruby to visit Officer Rose, who sends her home. If you enter Ruby's Room, you will be stuck there until the patch which adds Day 2.
What To Look For: Look for these and other bugs and report them on Discord!
- Eurus properly joins the party after his quest is completed.
- Music properly changes between Ruby's House, The Veil, Raphael's Tower Area, and Raphael's Tower.
- Lighting returns to normal after leaving Raphael's Tower Area.
New:
- Debug Unit has been added to Lvell to remove Quest #8, which was previously "Nightmare of Lvell". This quest had no further details than a title and should be removed from all active save files.
- Elena Katali of the Phoenix Ash now prompts Ruby to return to Officer Rose after her questline is complete.
- The Veil now connects to the Raphael's Tower Area. Visit this location to help Eurus.
Changes:
- The store page listing for the Cross of Auria demo has been delisted. This demo may be safely uninstalled.
