Okay people. Here is some more updates and teasers about TE:A.
Secret Dungeons Galore
I have probably mentioned this before in general terms, but here are the specifics of the two secret dungeons.
Call of Eons
A secret cavern located somewhere in the world. It must be remotely opened through means that I won't go into , but once you are there it will act as a backstory revealer. The four levels will each relate to the four main characters in your party as you lead them individually through trials and challenges not meant for ordinary gamers. The fifth and final level holds the most difficult enemy in the game. In the case of an Original Party, this dungeon becomes an extended backstory of the main character Enigma.
Tower of Babel Floors 6-100
In the same style as Sphere 211 from Star Ocean: Til the end of time, once you acquire three data disks you can reprogram the elevator to take you to floor 6, and climb up the tower the old fashioned way. As you get to each tenth level (Starting at 10) you can unlock a new elevator gate, so your progress is saved. At the top, your mettle will be challenged by eFlare and boxxleman themselves!
Book of...
Each main character in the game (21 total) will have a book in the Tower of Babel Culutral Center dedicated to them. If you wish to make a personal dedication as well as cite what you would like to appear in your book, please post them below and I will try to work with you. This can be quotes, backstory, random stuff, whatever, it's your book.
Props to Freedan for this idea. _________________ Support me on Patreon!

oh god sphere 211 i hate you. At least you're not going the way of that stupid dungeon in Lufia 2, where you have to go 100 levels down without going back to the surface lest you start over again at floor 1! and I swear if you make the bosses be stupid where you have to beat them in 3 turns or less I will personally fly out to Virgina and kick your ass. _________________

Even if I was so inclined, I'm not sure I could enforce so stringent a timer with the battle system I currently use, so don't worry. And the Tower of Babel levels from 6-100 are one-room puzzle-based action, more than random enemy encounters (but on each tenth floor there is a boss enemy). _________________ Support me on Patreon!

Oh, so it's sort of like Tower of Druaga in a sense? Solve the puzzle, move on to the next floor? That I can deal with. _________________

Oh, some more info about TE:B
1. New Playable Characters: Metall Ark, Hydra.7, Lenc, Flamez.
But now I am probably going to also add: NoZKey, Ratty Randnums, sora-mage and subjectnamehere.
Let that be a lesson. Post a lot, stay active and great things will happen! _________________ Support me on Patreon!

but there were so many abusive ways to beat that big jelly thing. i never did it, but u could either kill urself (no joke) or heal it once and then one-hit the bastard.
and that aside, id like some lore to be in my book, ill write it out after ive finished this streak of exams (or better yet, all of them). so ill start either friday or 1st of july. if thats too late, the prologue of the fanfic will have to do _________________

Oh, I forgot a name. thefencemaster is also playable in TE:B.
However instead of having multiple stories, you start with one main character (chosen from the above) and choose three others from your team. This choice is relevant to the story too. _________________ Support me on Patreon!

Is there anything that you need from those of us what were lucky enough to be added into the game? I seem to recall topics earlier (though I am admittedly to lazy to try and find them) where you asked for some things from other people. _________________ Touch it and Die
