    • 📝Miscellaneous (game systems/features)
  • Party Roster Expansion
    • The party capacity has been increased from 24 to 28 units, using the previously reserved Guest slots.
    • Guest characters are now deployable in battle. Take caution, as this may cause duplicate Guest characters depending on the mission.
    • All units, including Guests, are dismissable. Take caution and save often. This shouldn’t interfere with the mission progression of specific units.
  • NEW Battle Palette (in Options)
    • You can now customize your team’s generic unit sprite color during battle
    • This change does not impact unique characters
    • This option can be found in Options > Battle Palettes. Note that changing the option mid-battle does not change palettes on the fly but rather for the next encounter
    • Palette changes update uniquely per player for all multiplayer modes
    • Replaced the Cursor Repeat Rate for this option and forced set it to “Normal.”
  • Spell Quotes (re-enabled)
    • All units have a 35% chance when casting an ability to briefly message prompt a quote prior to casting it. The message prompt is fairly quick to keep it from being invasive but to also add a bit of “flavor” in mid-battle
    • Invisible, chicken, or toad-status units or Mimes cannot quote
    • Some generic abilities, such as Steal and Speechcraft, do not have quotes set.
    • To turn off quotes, go to Options and set Ability Names and Quotes = OFF.
  • Warriors’ Guild
    • Players may now change the name of either any unique or generic characters (max. 14 chars). Please refrain from using inappropriate names.
    • The Hire Male and Female Soldier options are now combined into Hire Squire, randomly generated.
    • Added Hire Monster, which randomly generates one of the 48 standard monsters.
    • Hired units this way generate at your highest party level.
    • Removed the equipment fee costs.
    • Hiring costs a flat 3,000 Gil.
  • Soundtrack
    • The random battles background music has been refreshed and will now randomly play one of the following nostalgic battle themes, fitting the theme of PvP much better than ever before. Note that this change also affects random encounters in the world:
      • Trisection
      • Back Fire
      • Decisive Battle
      • Battle on the Bridge
  • Zodiac Compatibility System
    • This system is disabled as Tactics League uses Serpentarius for its formats to ensure neutral compatibility and to set expectations that this system does not influence this mod.
  • Weather/Day System
    • Removed the weather and nighttime penalties affecting Bows/Crossbows.
  • Maps (Melee mode)
    • Midlight’s Deep maps (starting with The Creavase) in Melee mode have normal lighting (requiring crystals to light up the map). This will be addressed in a future update.
  • Practice Mode (Araguay Woods)
    • 8 enemy team encounters that feature builds designed in the same way as the Standard format. You can encounter these teams to practice your roster offline depending on how you enter Araguay Woods:
