This is actually the second half of an update which was originally supposed to be released back in November of 08. So basically the game went 8-9 months without any updates, lagging behind all other versions of the game (which are up to 3.5).

Furthermore, there was never any explanation of why we never got the rest of the patch. Any requests for info or explanations were met by silences, lies (coming soon), or insults and banning people from the official boards.

If you want to play this game (Granado Espada), don't play Sword, play another English version that is up to date and actually supported by the company running it.

And unless you can devote a computer to AFK the game 24/7 (your characters fight on their own), forget about reaching the high levels in the game.
