Furniture that allows players to train their Animon is now clearly identified.

A Quick Grab feature has been added to make managing Animon and collecting items in the Anispace more convenient.

Online Anispace visits have been streamlined.

Several issues affecting Anispace visits and interactions have been fixed

The Anispace lock has been removed from Ace Mode, allowing players to access the Anispace without restrictions

 

Rare Animon Encounters

The encounter rate for Rare Animon has been increased, making them easier to encounter during exploration.

 

Capture Difficulty

Players can no longer easily capture wild Animon that significantly outclass their team. If a wild Animon is at least 5 levels above the highest-level Animon in the player's party, its capture chance is reduced to 1 in 10,000. This applies only in Battle.

Post-Game Improvements

Post-game progression and available activities have been clarified to make it easier for players to understand what content becomes available after completing the main story.

Memostone Improvements

Memostone details now appear in the item information panel.

A skill-selection window has been added when applying a Memostone.

The overall Memostone flow and inventory refresh behaviour have been improved.

 

Final Dungeon

The Holoken Power obtained in the final dungeon now does not require a QTE anymore to trigger interactions.

After completing the game, the Holoken power obtained in the last dungeon will still be present in your Holoken, meaning it will trigger any elemental object regardless of its current element and without requiring a QTE.

A dedicated tutorial for this new Holoken Power has been added.

💘 Quality of Life

Bag pockets granularity

Additional bag pockets and item categories have been added, making the bag much more granular and making finding items easier.

 

Fountain Autosave

The game now automatically saves when the player passes near a Fountain.

Stackable Repels

Using the Repels multiple times consecutively now stacks their effects, extending its duration.

Timed Effects

All timed effects now pause while the player is engaged in battle.

EXP Pop-Up Settings

A new setting allows players to customize how EXP notifications are displayed.

 

Held Items

Players can now see which items are currently held by Animon in their party directly from the Animon page.

 

Holoboard Button

A dedicated Holoboard button has been added to the in-game interface for easier access.

XP Encoder

Various issues affecting XP Encoder functionality have been addressed.

Animon cries

Animon cries have been added to the AniWiki, and other game screens.

Profanity Filter

The profanity filter has been adjusted to reduce cases where legitimate names were incorrectly restricted.

Restaurant Rewards

Players now receive a notification when obtaining Furniture as a reward from restaurants.

💥 Battle-specific improvements

 

Battle Animation Toggle

A new option allows players to disable skill animations during battles.

 

Battle fluidity

Battles now play much more smoothly than before, as now awkward waiting times with nothing happening on screen have been removed.

Optional simple battle background

An option has been added that replaces all battle backgrounds with a simpler one. If you're having performance issues or loading time issues, this can improve the gameplay experience.

Battles During Cutscenes

Battles will no longer unexpectedly interrupt cutscenes. Previously, this caused numerous bugs such as missed animation triggers or other gameplay toggles not working the way they should have, locking players out of gameplay progression.

Accuracy & Evasion

Agility's influence on accuracy and evasion has been reduced, making individual Agility stages less impactful on hit chance.

Skills aimed at allied Animon, including healing and support abilities, now always connect.

TP Improvements

Several issues affecting TP gain and battle feedback have been fixed.

TP is now correctly awarded after actions.

The TP hit animation only plays when TP actually increases.

End-of-turn skills can now cost 0 TP.

Now a maximum of 2 TPs can be awarded per-attack. 1 TP always comes from a weakness hit, and 1 TP comes from a critical hit. This means that hitting 2 Animon's weakness with one attack will give the player only 1 TP.

Sereum's Synchro, when used with an Animon trait, can be used to substitute one of the two sources and gain at least 1 TP.

Boss Improvements

Fixed an issue that could prevent bosses from changing forms correctly during battle.

Boss SP bonuses now apply from Normal difficulty upward.

Bosses now receive 2 extra turns on Normal and above, while lower difficulties receive 1 extra turn.

Boss skills and boss levels have been corrected in several situations.

Additional boss battle and form-related issues have been fixed.

Skills & Effects

Fixed an issue that could cause certain area-of-effect skills to hit the same battler more than once.

Switching Animon now correctly activates and removes relevant effects.

Several skill effect duration issues have been fixed.

Targeting restrictions have been improved.

Form-change effects and related battle states have been corrected.

Several healing skills have received significant improvements.

Silhouchain is now a single-use item, and its effect can no longer be triggered more than once.

All Camp effects now last 1800 seconds, standardising the duration of camp-related boosts.

Camp effects also no longer decrease in duration while the player is in battle.

🌍 Exploration and World

Water Bubbles (Holoken Power)

The water bubbles in the game have been adjusted to move at an improved speed.

Player Position on the Talea Map

The player's current position is now displayed on the Talea map, making navigation easier.
