Hack description

Note that this patch is in .RUP (NINJA) format.

It changes all the following:

Character Names: Dios, Erin and Arty are back to normal.

Monster Names: Gardios and too many others to count.

Censorship: Bars now sell booze instead of cider. Church is run by a priest now. Bunny girls kiss the hero on the second floor of Forfeit Isle. The dress is once again a One-Piece swimsuit. All references to death restored in place of gloom. Shop sells Bunny Ears and Bunny Suits.

Item Names: Brone to Bronze. Tan to Leather. Carbo to Holy. Might to Ancient. Stuffed Monkey. Rum, Vodka, Gin, Moonshine and Whiskey sold in stores. Lots more.

Magic Names: All magic names restored to their original, unintelligible syllables. Have fun figuring out what does what. It's Phantasy Star IV again!

Dialogue: Corrected the Gades in Sheran reference when Lufia first sees Gades so it is no longer Tarzan-speak.

An interesting look at what could have been	FlamePurge	2022-11-20	Version 1.0
I would be remiss to not review this after basing my own project on it. D really stepped up to the plate with this one, personally retranslating all of the menu terms and going so far as to restore the priests, bunny girls, and alcohol references. I also admire his praise of the retail script by Anthony Gurr. It marries Lufia and Estpolis in an intriguing light, and if you've ever wondered what the game may have been like had it been less changed, check out Decensored. This project is also meaningful for me, personally. D taught me that sometimes, a game just needs a little tender love and care to be fixed up.
