The latest patch for FDF changed up the core game quite a bit. We have reworked patterns (A good bunch of them completely new!) and changes to shot-types.

From what I can see, the idea here was that this patch was supposed to balance the original FDF´s Lunatic, which was considered to be really hard, if not downright unbalanced, at times (Most people mention Lunatic Sakuya and Remilia, in particular).

For better or worse, the changes made in this patch have really toned down Lunatic difficulty A LOT. As a general rule most patterns have been nerfed by either reducing the density of the bullets of the attack in question, or making them slower, or even both. Or, alternatively, they just made a completely new and original attack completely replace the old one; said new attack usually being quite a lot easier than whatever one used to be on its place. These new attacks are pretty interesting IMO, so if anything we get to see some new cool patterns!

Sanae shot type has also gotten a much needed buff. Now shes more of a spread type, and completely murders stage portions. The fireworks reach is even lower in the screen than they originally were, but it more than compensates with their increase in range and sheer firepower. It also seems capable of shotgunning with the Bubble bomb- making said bomb even more deadly than before. Simply put, she is more efficient and fun to use now!

All of these changes combined, means I 1cced this pretty much casually first try (Havent played FDF since a couple of months, still got this first try). Or... well, at least, thats what really happened. The actual replay desynced and game overs at the very end for some reason... not sure if it is the update or just bad luck. You will just have to trust me with this one. I reached the final spell with that many resources, please have just a bit of faith on me and realize I probably didnt die 5 times to a single spell :P

In any case, the main point isnt the replay or 1cc, it is showcasing this new patch that changed quite a lot of things to the game.
