I almost think it's on purpose, a subtle price to pay for using it. Because in no circumstance is it necessary, it's an easy way out. Same for Miqo'te Dress and Summoner Yuna. They look really silly and out of place. Though that says nothing for Amazon Warrior, Nightmare, Candy Raver, Carnaval Crusher, Mist Wizard, Watery Chorus, Dragon's Blood, and so many others. :P

I did some experimenting to make a sprite that looks more like Amano's concepts. Here's a Terra Branford.

That looks really good! Now do the same thing to the other hundred or so sprites she has. :P

Removed Weapon Edits

What does that mean?

Ice, Icera, Icega
Bolt, Boltra, Boltga

Not Blizzard/Thunder? Also lol at Cometeo. There are also so many other items that need work, if you're gonna make changes like that, I think. First example I can think of from the top of my head is why Dry Ether but no Last Elixir?

Made it through my entire first run without any crashes. I don't run anything else while I'm running the game. I noticed in that screenshot you sent me some days ago that you were running soooo many things in the background, chrcoluk. Maybe try not doing that?

Well not really disabled, they just didn't provide a way to obtain them in-game. There was never anything copywritten in regards to the adornments, they were all used in FInal Fantasy XIII-2, after all. Even Mog's ClockStaff, which wasn't even obtainable in Lightning Returns on console, was in the files back then. Siegfried also has no such ties to anything, so they didn't really have a reason to take it out of the files. Aerith's garb is a special case, and it had reasons for them to remove it, so they did. It's not laced with such vitriol as you are suggesting.

There is a free level 2 Thundara in Luxerion, but for the purposes of building an optimal Thundara, that doesn't do the trick. You need 3 level 1 Thundaras to be able to upgrade it to a level 2 Thundara to lower the ATB cost, and then 7 level 2 Thundaras to be able to upgrade it to a level 3 Thundara to lower the ATB cost, and then 10 level 3 Thundaras to be able to upgrade it to a level 4 Thundara to lower the ATB cost, and then 6 level 4 Thundaras to be able to upgrade it to a level 5 Thundara to lower the ATB cost, and then finally 9 level 5 Thundaras to have a maximum power level 5 Thundara.

I'd wager you can probably find the Aerith files if you can download it on a ps3 or 360 hard drive, then explore that particular part of the game's files via exploring the ps3/360's hard drive by using it as an external drive. By going through all that, you'll eventually find out how the files work and get the data that way. Is it difficult? yes. But it is doable.

It wasn't even that difficult. I popped a USB drive into my Xbox 360 and copied the DLC files to it and then got the files off my USB drive using my PC.

Just so everybody knows, The Thirteenth Ark is currently not working with the latest update. They patched the EXE, which is how the mod works through... so right now, you'll get an error if you try to load your schemata names.

Bad luck, that sucks. I still haven't had a single crash, about to wrap up extincting and jump into the Ultimate Lair and then the Final Day. But I aim to find the Red Dragon Outfitters guy before I end the first run, haven't had any luck with him. I even spent an entire day looking on Day 5 or 6.

You're wrong. If you did at least 50 quests, it should have been unlocked. You would've had a scene and everything with an extra day for all the lost hours that were restored. It was in the Dead Dunes.
