Thanks for all the QOL and fixes. I really appreciate being able to visit Scout without patrol notes. The conversation added when having 0 notes and asking to trade them is a nice touch too. The colors returning is a great idea, and I liked how subtle that was. I only noticed some leaves changing, but it was cool when it finally registered. The new fall art is nice too. It's cool to see the army around and Lucy interacting with Runa and others.

I encountered only a few issues while playing.

Loading up a previous version save with max spell bonus shows a spell bonus of +1 for the main character in the gear menu. In battle it shows +10.

Ellie's +2 spell bonus from her skill tree was missing in battle, which showed a +10 instead of a +12 when I loaded a save with the skill purchased. Loading an earlier save and purchasing the skill showed a +12 bonus in battle, but the gear menu still showed a +1. In both these saves I had done multiple magic experiments (50+) trying to max all spell bonuses, so the +1 might be an issue with inadvertently going over the maximum. Doing more experiments and getting spell damage did not change the +1.

Last thing, and this might just be bad luck, but I can't access Scout's second flirting scene. I tried 14 days in a row to get a scene other than variations of the hand job but never saw her other scene. I didn't flirt with her until I had almost maxed out her affinity and interest so I'm wondering if this might be the cause, or if it really is just bad luck.

Thanks again for the fixes and the update. I'm excited for future releases!

Scout's second scene not showing up was definitely a bug - I recently rewrote how all the events + scenes get generated, and this was the result a simple typo on my end. Good spot! Uploaded a fix for that specifically.

I'll get the modifiers showing correctly soon!
