More information on the upcoming Lore Book

On a forum post from July 3rd, Fernhalwes aka Koji Fox released not only some additional information on his upcoming lore book, but the full lyrics for the Sephirot battle theme Fiend.

Regarding the book, Koji apologizes for the lack of updates in the past couple months, but he says the book “has had a rusty dirk to my kidney these past few months, threatening to gut me should I even let my thoughts stray from completing my mission.” He is continuing to work very hard to get the translations completed to have the book ready by NA FanFest, and will try to get some early glimpses to us between then and now.

Deep Dungeon releases July 19th

From the Lodestone, as well as a Tweet on Matt Hilton‘s Twitter feed, Patch 3.35 which includes the highly anticipated Palace of the Dead is scheduled for a July 19th release. In case you’ve been living under a rock, the Palace of the Dead is the new Rogue-like dungeon which will pit a party of up to 4 adventurers in a random series of floors littered with treasure, traps, and monsters galore. What will we find at the bottom? Only Yoshi-P knows! Make sure to clear your calendar, take the day off, or if all else fails, call in sick.* 😀

*Phoenix Down Radio does not ACTUALLY endorse calling in sick, but hey, who are we to tell you what to do? 😀
