At this very moment I am scripting the final boss battle as we speak. The mechanics will be much like in the original game, but with a few enhancements.

Does this mean the game is almost done?

If it were only THAT easy ☹... There will still be a LOT to do once the final boss is fully operational. Just to list a few:

1. I need to make sure the New Game+ works. Not only will the New Game+ have all skills for Eric and Scyndi unlocked from the game's start (where you need to collect those in the normal playthough, due to scenario reasons), experience will also go up faster in the New Game+, and on all difficulty settings the level cap will rise one level more per Travel Emblem you find.

2. The New Game+ will also feature four extra dungeons, and they need to be properly set up, like all others.

3. There's also "The True Abyss" where you can play through a 100 floor random generated game, which can be reset endlessly.

4. Some ability animations still need to get running

5. Not to mention the tons of bugs that need fixing before I even consider.

So all in all... I still have A LOT to do... It's even too early to yell "LAND HO, CAPTAIN!" but progress is really seen now, and my hard work the past year, has finally begun to pay off...
