Today has been great news for the Fodlan fans among us. Coincidentally (or perhaps not…) today was also when I finished the next update to Life of Seiros. The 2025 patch has been updated.
This one is a huge patch, and among other things includes:
New, 3H inspired start menu and save screen UI
Large reworks to many items and classes (Shove has been given to Knights and Brawlers, Reposition to Generals and Smite to Grapplers; effective weapons have been buffed; class upgrade stat bonuses have been reworked for most classes to move away from vanilla, etc. etc.)
Done away with Ignis as the “Crest of Seiros”, with Discipline taking its role instead for the “talented youngster” vibe
The Prologue has been completely reworked and now gives two temporary characters to make it more of an actual chapter
And probably more things I forgot, like various balance changes and adjustments.
The update also includes a faux freeroam chapter, Verse XIV.II, where you choose to grant Crests to your chosen human allies, and Verse XV, a full chapter, where your mission is to spread the faith of the Goddess and convert 3 of 4 villages.
Yes, I intend to. However, I’m doing the UI rework one step at a time, rather than all at once. Definitely by the time the hack is complete the whole UI should be touched up.
yeah its best not to overwork yourself.
still like that the battle theme is that one battle theme from 3houses that plays
when you fight one of the students
I’ve updated the 2025 Patch with a new update. There have been a lot of graphics updates, music updates (a bunch of vanilla themes have been replaced), balance changes, and a new completed verse - Verse XVI!
Two new chapters, two new characters and a somewhat simpler chapter compared to the previous two, leading towards the final stretch of the game, the confrontation in the South Fodlan Capital.
That [COMPLETE] is drawing nearer and nearer… We are in the final stretch of the hack. I am absolutely certain that 2026 will be our year. Perhaps even the first half of it.
Look forward to it, and I hope you all enjoy playing the current content!
Hello again everyone, with another monthly update!
The download link has been updated again. There have been some rebalances (Cethleann should hopefully be a bit less of a Flayn Emperor now, though she is still very good), new map convos and battle convos, and - Verse XVIII!
As you may also see in the thread title, the ?? in the number of planned chapters has finally been pinned down. LoS will finish with 23 chapters - roughly the same as vanilla Sacred Stones. Everything has been planned out, everything is ready. The first half of 2026 will be our year.
The pace of work has picked up, I’ve had more time recently, and also the next two chapters were a little simpler to deal with. This monthly update has some fixes to earlier chapters, hopefully a fix to the incredibly annoying Preach/Dragon Vein bug, a slightly redone Verse V, various wip graphics and icons replaced, and two new chapters!
This will be the last pre-[COMPLETE] update. The final three chapters are too interconnected for me to release them separately, and it also hardly makes sense to hold back when the release is right around the corner, so I will work on them as one batch and release them together with any other cleanup needed for a full release.
How long will it take? Who knows. Two months, maybe three? The final chapter will require some messing around and also a lot of new portraits so it may take a little bit before it is ready. I however hope to maintain the current development pace.
