Version 1.401 is ready for play and features two big gameplay quality of life changes.
Along with fixing some text hiccups whilst playtesting Hardcover, I've decided to do some hunting
and thanks to the guys in the Hacktics Discord pointing me in the right direction, I was able to
find exactly what I wanted.
Smart Encounters
No longer do you have to run around trying to complete propositions and worry about
running into a random battle. You can now select them at will. If you want a fight, click
on a green dot on the map and you'll be set in a battle there. If you select a town and
you're - say, in Limberry and you wanna go all the way to Lionel, you'll get there without
a random battle holding you up.
4x JP Gains
A little controversial for a JRPG, I know, but it's such a quality of life thing that
I can't help but enable it. Now you don't have to spend hours upon hours upon precious
hours on a game you've likely played before grinding out JP smashing each other's face
in with rocks or licking each other as frogs. Instead, you can play the battles and you'll{br}
more organically grow the character's jobs. There may be a glitch where it shows you got like
4 JP, but I assure you, it's a glitch that can't really be fixed but you did get the increased gains.
