- Made some changes to how the hint system functions
- Cooked some spaghetti
Auri will be replacing Marguerite in the normal route as an additional tutorial fight in preparation for Valka. She's essentially a variation of Valka's first phase. Marguerite can still be encountered in the solo route, and will remain the same pain in the ass.
Carregia Canoinn has been turned into a minor secret for pacing reasons. She was added in an attempt to prepare the player against Isla, but the new items more than make up for both Isla's and Xystia's difficulty. Though the relevance and uses of the proper attack string against Isla is questionable, there's so many options around it now that it's been rendered obsolete.
A new puzzle has been added in the White Boundary, after the Dire Rootlass battle and before Stalker Juno. It's less a puzzle and making sure that the player can see and count the relevant pieces. It also serves as a way to pace battles, as the area is a bit heavy on battles now.
The new hint system will be apparent while using Glass Eye and hint flowers will appear to guide a slightly observant player through the mazes.
