Sources, updates and coverage.
Current edition
Full release · Steam 1.05 (October 30) / Falcom PS5 v1.04; Switch update pending · checked October 31, 2026 UTC · fixes not tested by Kingy. 26 guides and 48 connected entries. Research checked 31 Oct 2026; article edit dates are recorded separately.
What still needs work
- The full release is available, but Kingy has not independently played the remake. The chapter pages are source-led route anchors and preparation frameworks, not a claim of a completed 100% run.
- Exact remake quest names, BP answers, deadlines, item coordinates, recipe/fish/book/chest totals, party availability and boss statistics remain unconfirmed unless a guide labels evidence from the current build.
- Steam demo patch notes are not assumed to establish PS5, Nintendo Switch or Switch 2 parity. Store dates, DLC contents and platform behavior can change and should be checked against the current first-party notice.
How updates are reviewed
Sources are linked to the guides that depend on them in Kingy’s review pipeline. A source change requests an editorial review; it does not automatically rewrite the guide or advance its edit date. Automated source checks are separate from a substantive guide review.
