The English version of The 7th Stand User: v2.48 is out! Head to the download page to play it. Your old save files will still work - just drag the files labeled Save01~.lmu from the old 7thjojo folder into the updated one.

Though it’s not a huge update, this version introduces the Combination Attack feature, which allows you to pair up with party members with high friendship for a customizable rush attack that can be completely different depending on the player/teammate combo. (I covered this in a bit more detail here.) It also came out on Christmas, which happens to be the 4th anniversary of the first complete version! Congrats to Clayman and everyone else involved!

Other notable additions to v2.48 include:

Star Platinum: The World now boosts Jotaro’s stats considerably in comparison to vanilla Star Platinum. In addition, when equipped, Jotaro’s default attack will hit twice, ignore evasion, always go first, and crit 30% of the time. (If you’re on a save where Jotaro already has Star Platinum: The World enabled, talk to Rohan in any of the game’s hotels to upgrade).

A bug was fixed where the battle would end without a Game Over if the party was wiped out by Amber’s self-destruct attack.

A couple new cutscenes from the manga and 2014 anime, as well as some new Stand/personality-dependent responses for the protagonist in certain places.

Various graphics and animations have been redrawn.

As always, as much as I try to test the game thoroughly, bugs and typos are bound to crop up, so please report any oddities to brandnewscooby@gmail.com or submit them through the askbox.
