That's a Lotta New things.
For one, I'm glad they got around to New Game Plus, I kinda Wish it was there from the Start but hey, It's something.
I'm also glad they Fixed some of the Bugs involving some Rare Blade's Affinity Charts, and Quests.
New Game Plus can be a fun little Second Playthrough, you can use Blades you did not use your First time around.
Se yea, it seems to be a Good Update so far, I hope to see more.
That's about all for today, see you all again tomorrow.
