#acff: version differences

[astralchainfunfacts]

Fun fact: In version 1.0.1, male Akira was made 5.5 kg heavier, and Female Akira was made 3.5 kg heavier. (According to IRIS data.)

This meant Akira went from:

58.3 kg (128.5 lbs) to 63.8 kg (140.7 lbs) [Male Akira]

45.8 kg (101.1 lbs) to 49.2 kg (108.5 lbs) [Female Akira]

Considering they're both 19 years old, and Male Akira is 171.4 cm (5'7") and Female Akira is 169.3 cm (5'6"), they probably did this because the 1.0.0 numbers would make female Akira underweight, and male Akira almost underweight. The weight increase pushes them right to the center of healthy levels.

Since, I assume fighting chimeras all day would help you keep at a healthy weight!

Fun fact: In 1.0.0, File 11 Chapter 1, they accidentally placed the "Head to the ARI" pin 2.2 units too high.

This was fixed in 1.0.1. (Riveting.)

Fun fact: For this specific line of dialogue in File 04 Chasing Shadows, they forgot to make Olive speak through the IRIS's comm system. This was fixed in 1.0.1.

Notably, they did not fix this red word's description, which says Harmony Square is in Zone 32...

Fun fact: In v1.0.0 of the game, it was possible to get Lappy to tell you "You got a perfect score!" when you actually only scored 75/100 points, due to a error in the talk script logic.

This was fixed in v1.0.1.

Fun fact: In version 1.0.0 of the game, Parnassus No. 2 actually had an ID on the IRIS! It was UCA002684.

This ID was unique and not shared by any other NPC. He was the only Parnassus to have an ID, and it was later redacted in 1.0.1. If you go check him in File 02 now, it'll just say ID: ?????????.

Fun fact: Kijima is the only person in the game to have had their birthday retconned between updates. In 1.0.1, the developers changed his birthday from June 27, 2050 to February 3, 2050 (144 days earlier). They also added his blood type and bust/weight/hip ("size") measurements that they somehow forgot to add in 1.0.0.

Fun fact: 1.0.1 added a "Legion Customization" tutorial screen after you use the training program and finish the Akira cutscene in File 03 Chapter 01. (Perhaps they realized they never properly introduced the mechanic?)

Fun fact: In 1.0.0, you could manipulate the File 09 cat in Harmony Square to go anywhere you wanted. This was patched in 1.0.1: the cat will now simply disappear out of existence if you try to bring it away from its intended area.

As far as I know, this didn't really break anything? The cat remained spawned in until you unloaded the area, but the main boss fight here takes place far away from where the cat can exist. I believe they did this so that you can't get the cat stuck out of bounds where you can't rescue it (though doing so would take considerable effort).

They also moved the cat so that it was more easily visible to players (previously it was placed in the nearby alley).
