----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Within this archive are two patches.

   * L2_FrueTrilogizer_v70-T.IPS
      The primary project patch. Contains all features as listed in the overview.

   * UnlockRetry&GiftModes.IPS (by Artemis)
      This allows players to start a game in Retry Mode (4x EXP/gold) or Gift Mode (Start on
      Gruberik Island with the ability to swap your teammates for the Ancient Cave) without needing
      to unlock them first.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is just a simple mod applied atop Artemis' Frue Lufia, making certain lore terms consistent
with Lufia I Restored and Lufia III Complete. This also works with Spekkio Lufia, somehow!
====================================================================================================

====================================================================================================
Overview
========
GENERAL:
- All enhancements and bug fixes present in Frue Lufia are also here.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GRAPHICS:
- 8x8 menu and 8x16 dialogue fonts changed to those used in my Lufia I and III projects.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TEXT:
- Item, enemy, and ability names are now cohesive with Lufia I Restored and Lufia III Complete.

Changelog
=========
v7.0-T (Jul 27 2024)
- Egg Dragon location reverted to "Small Shrine to Dragon Egg" due to issues with the location
  label of Dragon Mountain. (Thanks to CanoeFan for reporting.)
  

- Hotfix 1 Jul 27 '24 for Frue/Spekkio compatibility.


- Hotfix 2 Jul 29 '24 for missed all caps text and checksum correction.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

v6.0-T (Nov 9 2022)
- Updated for compatibility with Frue/Spekkio Lufia v6.0.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

v5.2-T (Nov 6 2022)
- Bundled "Unlock Retry and Gift Mode" by Artemis, which allows players to launch Retry or Gift
  Modes without needing to beat the game.


- Shrine of Daos is now Doom Fortress. (Not quite enough room for Fortress of Doom.)


- Daos' infamous line is now consistent with its Lufia I iteration.


- Removed "Shrine of Daos" location label associated with its map. (Was unable to change the label
  properly, so this compromise was instated.)


- Narvick residents no longer refer to Doom Island as Sky Island. (Lore-wise, it fits, but I don't
  think established names should change.)


- Darbi's Mini Devil form is now known as Mini-Devil. (Consistency with Lufia I.)


- Menu labels now use mixed-case.


- Labels for post-game Results screen updated for clarity.


- Revised several characters in the 8x8 (menu) and 8x16 (dialogue) fonts for readability.
