v14 Setup Post [Everything you need to know!]

(Disclaimer: This post will probably be updated as time goes on today if there's anything I missed or realize I want to add later. Or maybe not!)

Hey there! It's finally time again!
This is not the release post. This is a quick post to help make your save file transition from v13.5 to v14 is as smooth as possible.

First, let's start with this:

PLACES THAT ARE NOT SAFE TO SAVE/LOAD UP IN:
 

DISCORD INTEGRATION:

Rejuvenation is now officially supported on Discord! No more Poker game or Age of War or whatever it's called in your activity sidebar.

GEN 9 + ZA Megas:
Gen 9 is now included! This includes numerous moveset updates. I said we weren't including ZA Megas and that's somewhat true. All sprites and stones have been implemented, but only those with official abilities are actually included in game. Go nuts trying to find some of them!

JOIPLAY/KIRIN:

We do have builds for Joiplay, but calling it official support may be a bit of stretch. These are highly experimental builds and maintaining overarching support is something we aren't putting at a high priority right now. There ARE some issues that we already know about that CANNOT be fixed by our side. The developers of these will have to take care of them. Same goes for Kirin.

THE PROLOGUE + NG+:

The prologue got some big changes if you weren't aware. It has an extended story if you have a completed v14 save. NG+ Is actually quite extensive this time around. So once you're done playing v14, there's more adventures to be had if you so wish to experience them! Some of them are very... very interesting. And I reward you handsomely for taking the time to play again :). I'll leave it at that.

CHAPTER PASSWORDS:

V13.5 brought in a Terajuma Password that allowed you to skip directly to Terajuma. v14 Brings in a new password that skips you directly to Act 2, Chapter 9. I really wanted to get a Karma Files password ready for release, but this password is already very experimental. I expect there to be some unforeseen issues with this one. Tread carefully with this one, but it should work okay. In the future I hope to have the Karma Files password skip ready as well, but ACT 2 is so extensive that it takes a lot of time and testing. I hope you all understand!

RANDOMIZER SUPPORT:

Unfortunately due to all the major systems changes we've had, having this in time for release was not feasible, but we are working on support later down the line!

HOW TO START CHAPTER 16:

But first, I have to mention something.

I know a lot of you Renegade fans are itching to jump into Renegade first.

I highly, highly do not recommend that you do this.

Renegade acts without regard to spoilers in Paragon. And some things in Renegade will flat out NOT MAKE SENSE without context from Paragon.

I HIGHLY recommend that you play and complete Chapter 16 in Paragon FIRST.
