Hi everyone! First of all, I want to mention that the incredible PatchrickPlayer1 has been streaming (among other things) ZAGS: The Role We Play. Please go check out his channel and the previous streams, and join him on future Tuesdays (at 8 or 8:30 PM US Eastern) to join in on the fun! (He's also on Twitch.)

However, during his playthrough, I noticed a few balance issues that led to some game changes:

• Each character now has a "Last Chance" skill that will activate automatically (without taking a turn) when that character is the last character alive in a given combat
• The Easy difficulty now also grants an HP and SP boost to all characters, as well as increasing damage from the party's non-critical and non-weak attacks, making elemental exploitation less crucial
• The Very Easy difficulty now grants a (larger) HP and SP boost to all characters, and greatly increases damage from all of the party's attacks (including critical and weak attacks), allowing you to brute force combats
• The Hard difficulty no longer carries an EXP penalty, and instead will decrease damage from the party's non-weak attacks (unless the target is void element), making elemental exploitation more important
• The Very Hard difficulty no longer carries an EXP penalty, and will instead reduce damage from the party's non-weak attacks to 1 (unless the target is void element), plus Last Chance skills do not trigger, making elemental exploitation mandatory for success

I'm hoping these changes will make the game more accessible to RPG newbies, while making it also more interesting to veterans.

Thanks to everyone for your continued support!
