Perhaps the largest change is the increase in level cap :toot:
I also revamped the EXP formula to allow me to give out comfortably higher ranges of experience points without fear of you guys putting up a new level every three battles.
The end result is that the requirements are near-unaffected around your level (Getting to Level 13 will take you one more EXP than in the old formula), but the EXP required for the previous cap, Level 36, has jumped from 13,000 to 26,000, and the new Initial and Extended level caps of 40 and 50 require about 34,000 and 62,000 EXP to reach.
For the sake of fairness, the required levels of the skills in the Grimoires that you already have will be unaffected by the change, but I am heightening some of the later ones, so it doesn't seem like all of them are squeezed together in that tiny "endgame level" zone of 28~32. The highest level any one skill will require of you is 39, so bear in mind that the spellbooks will run out of things to teach you long before you tackle some of the optional bosses in the game.
Also, so, now that you've defeated the Saigyou Ayakashi, you are now allowed to allocate additional base stat points upon levelling up.
You get a fixed number of extra points that you are freely allowed to spend on any one of your seven stats, for each level. The amount depends on the level, but you'll get less and less per level as time goes on is the general idea.
Hanzo, Hating, Yugian, your characters are Level 12, so you each have 11 extra points.
Duke, your character is Level 11, so you have 8 extra points.
Due to the level cap increase, the total amount of extra points you get has also increased from
to
Some item merchants also double as crafters; speak to Marisa for magical items, to Nitori for armor and weapons, and to Alice for other clothing. You require some basic materials to help them along, of course, and there is a tiny fee for each synthesis.
I've updated my Pastebin with some helpful files:
http://pastebin.com/u/TaizenThe Characters page is slightly out of date at the moment however. Everything else should be okay.Koishi Komeiji is now a random encounter. You have a 1% chance of encountering her at any place with encounters.
Unless you're matching her level (32) or more, then run. Her Magical Attack stat exceeds 500.
Sidequests are now able to be undertaken around Gensokyo. The first is one in which Letty attacks you with suicidal overconfidence. The second leads to an encounter with Fujiwara no Mokou. They have set requirements, rewards, etc. etc. etc. Rewards range from yen, to Grimoires, to experience points, to items.
Try not to make any more shopkeepers angry, okay? They will refuse to talk to you for either the remainder of the stage, or for five game hours :getdown:
At least Reisen was nice enough to give you something as a bribe to shoo you away.
(At least one shopkeeper will attack you, and she is level 48.)
