About

This is a patch that sets Blume as the final chapter’s boss, since Leaf wanted to take him down with his own hands if possible. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that Leaf will manage to charge against him and win.

There are still places with unchanged dialogues. I’ve become gardually unable to tell what parts of the story weren’t changed. We aren’t paying a lot of attention to story consistency at the moment, but please inform me if you think of improvements.

Notes:

• Please apply to a file (ROM version with a header) with a 4,194,816 size and CRC32:95E289DD. The inner parts of the NP version are different, so using it could have inconvenient results.
• Please apply it to an unmodified ROM.
• Avoid using it together with other patches. Some inner changes have been made, so unpredictable results my ensue.
• This patch was created with WinIPS. When applying the patch, using it is recommended.
