Description:
This hack alters events of the game so that Schala is rescued as part of the normal course of events. Schala remains part of the game world through the rest of the story and can be interacted with regularly.
Other changes include: an expanded version of the original Ted Woolsey translation, new items and Techs, new enemies and dungeons, new locations and NPCs, new shops and treasures, and a lot of surprises along the way. More alterations are explained in the readme.
2.2 is a cleanup of 2.1, including typo corrections and repairs to minor bugs. The primary game content is not altered.
Please note: this hack does include the New Game+ feature, despite what was stated in one of the reviews.

One of my favorite hacks, minus a glaring detail
Reviewed By: skya_luna on 04 Jun 2023So, as an inveterate Schala enjoyer, this is one of my favorite romhacks.
I like the changes to balance, the extra plot details, the extra NPC dialogue is not intrusive, and the additions to the side plots and their conclusions, and even the cross tie-ins, are all good.
It’s definitely higher quality than other hacks I’ve played with (looking at CT+ here) in terms of writing.
Also, while the new dungeons are interesting, they are quite straightforward. Schala, imo, is a bit too accepting of Janus later, you know, the guy who completely ruined her life with his Prophet shenanigans, lol. But that being said, I did enjoy the story regardless, and I’ll take saving Schala any way that I can.
However, do be aware that there is no warning for the black chests when you try to open them in the future - they won’t give you a vest, they’ll give you useless store-items, so make sure that you visit them in 600AD first, then go into the future and open them.
