I've been pretty submerged in wrapping this thing up for the last few days, but the end is in sight! I'm thinking Friday will be Release Day. #) <p>And for difficulty, I've implemented two different settings: Normal and Hard. Here are some of the differences:<p>1) Battles have more monsters at a time on Hard Mode (but the extra monsters don't give you XP or Meseta; otherwise it would make it less of a challenge and more of a gimme).<br>2) Certain monsters on Hard Mode have more techs and higher stats (such as bosses).<br>3) Purchase prices for certain skills/items are higher on Hard Mode.<br>4) Some sidequests are more difficult to complete on Hard Mode.<br>5) You can only save in Orakian towns on Hard Mode. (But don't worry - my dungeons are smaller than in the original).
<p>Oh, and purists rejoice! An artist friend of mine tweaked Maia's sprite, so now she has light blue hair, like she's supposed to. :p <p>Lys
