There's a huge update that just went live for the game! After testing out for 15-20 minutes these are the changes that I noticed so far:

(1): Animated cut-scenes have now been added to the game!

(2): Encounter Rates can now be adjusted in the options menu!

(3): You can set characters to Auto-Run in the options menu!

(4): There appears to be a few extra songs in the Jukebox.

Found some new changes!

(5): Some treasure chests are now not as hidden as they once were!

(6): Some treasure chests have been removed/added or are in a new location!

(7): A few new rooms and hidden areas with treasure chests have been added to the first dungeon!

(8): New object models for towns and dungeons have been added!

(9): Indoor/dungeon lighting has been changed greatly!

(10): Battle animation speed can now be changed in the options menu during battles! Credit goes to @arm

And I'm pretty sure there's alot more changes that were made considering the update took 45 minutes to download and 10 minutes to install! If anyone finds any changes not listed above please let me know and I'll add them to the list.

Update: The software update is 2.16 GB in size!

Awesome, how do you like this game overall? I've been meaning to buy this game, and a fresh update may finally get me to buy it.

@brooks83 It's really good, especially now that you can reduce the encounter rate! Before it was a bit much, but now it's only major flaw has been resolved.

I'm still working on figuring out what else has been changed by the update.

Any confirmations if this also applies to Europe? AFAIK, we still do not have patch for Citizens of Earth.

Dunno how I feel.

I thought they released a patch for Citizens of Earth and the game was still buggy?

What the hell?! Over 2 Gig of space for an update??? Just what is wrong with these people?! There's no way they needed this much spcae for an update to an already incredibly space-wasting game!

@Arm Apparently the software update wasn't released on the Wii U version of Pier Solar until late-June. But you are correct about the time that the other versions of the game were updated.

@arronishere A bit off-topic, but to answer your question all of Citizens of Earth's major bugs on the Wii U version of the game were resolved with the patch. There's still a few minor bugs, but nothing that should deter you from downloading the game.

@Neko_Rukiafan: Right, WiiU update came a bit later due to the nintendo approval process.

One important addition is the battle frequency option but also the battle animation speed option making things much faster.
You can explore without a single battle if you want. The healing spell on the maps is now faster to cast and you choose the portrait of the one wholl be healed so its clearer as well

Btw, I'm piersolar character designer and cutscene/opening director.
Excerpts of the opening had been included in the trailer last year.
