Game Description:
An extensive hack of Xenogears that aims to improve several areas of the game for a better experience.
Author(s): NoharOSP
Version: 0.10.2
Date: 25rd of May, 2026
Status: Incomplete, Actively Supported

RB's Notes 1: As stated, this is incomplete from a script standpoint, save for terminology standardization. Currently this will be most useful for the QoL aspect, of which this particular iteration contains the following:
- Combat flash removal
- Halved encounter rate
- Gold gain increased by 50%
- Exp gain increased by 50%
- Terminology standardization
- Fast text rendering
- Battle voices and FMV undubbed
- Retranslated script
- Deathblow prerequisite removal
RB's Notes 2: For the time being, to make maintaining this easier, I'll offer only only variant of the hack. I know this is a turn off to some, but it is far too time consuming to account for every permutation.
