It's being worked on. I've been doing little revisions the last few days to setup the new groundwork for it. Out of curiosity, is there something you're specifically hoping to see in the next release?

What I'm hoping for whether it's in the next release or the releases to come I'm hoping for things like being able to control the monster character in battle, having Caius's Chaos Bahamut or Bahamut in general as a recruitable monster and adding in Fang and Hope. I'm not expecting to see it in the next Monster Mod but I'm hoping that if it's not that it's somewhere in the future and even if that doesn't happen I'm just happy your doing these mods at all. My favorite mod so far of XIII-2 has been the monster mod cause it's nice to get to use monsters that you could never ever use on a regular no mod area. I'm also hoping to see some of the other bosses and cieth as recruitable monsters. But nonetheless regardless on which characters you do I'm just happy your doing this at all and I hope you Krisan and everywhere here along with those involved in this project have a merry christmas

For me I'm hoping we get something like the monster mod pack release only instead since it's just 1 character and a couple guests that join during the game to possibly have the main character you can walk with and battle with to be changed like for instance I'm really hoping I can be Noel here and use his ultimate move and attacks that aren't Lightnings. It might be impossible for Krisan to do but I don't know if he'd possibly want to look into changing up the main character during fights.

You mean an Odin that is more like the one in XIII? Yeah, I agree, that'd be cool!
I think it would be amazing to have him also cast Thunderga etc despite his Commander Role! :) (don't know if that is possible)
Just out of curiosity: Would it also be possible to make him a little stronger and give him more passive abilities like stealing bravery e.g.? I was quite dissapointed that he only had a few passive abilities in ff13-2... I'd love to have a badass enhanced Odin-Commander like that!
Havin him as a Commander and Caius as a Ravager in your party would most certainly make you the most epic damage-dealing party ever! =D

Also and I highly doubt this is in the works but I feel like every Ediolon should be a fightable monster character. We already have Odin but we also need Bahamut as well not just the first fight and besides they took out his Megaflare in that battle and I was highly disappointed with that cause I wanted to unleash it at least once myself during that battle but he didn't have it. It's probably not possible but I'd like to see the other Ediolons make their way to being fightable monster characters :D

Oh and is there still a chance that we can control the monster character either with walking around with it or at least getting to select the actions the monster does during battle?

As much as I prefer the original Odin myself but seeing as how Odin in XIII was purely both Special and Regular attack based but in XIII-2 he is only relying in psychical strength instead of also casting the elemental spells that helped the chain gauge so if you change the skin maybe you could change his characteristics that would allow him to use his moves from XIII?

Im still hoping for Chaos Bahamut and Megaflare to be in the Monster Mod but I can dream I guess xD

Most of the time has been spent with research and real life crap. A lot of bugfixes will be in place that weren't possible until recently, I dunno yet what else though. We have one monster that's more or less done, but I'd like to start on one more because I don't think it'll be that exciting on its own. I have no predictions on a release date, though.. It really depends on how much freetime Scarlet has to test, and how much time I have to work. (And how many problems we run into..!)

Still sounds good either way I've just been so excited the last few months to try out the next releases cause honestly I never thought this game would get a mod like this. Honestly I expected rather simple mods like alot of PC games out there tend to get but a Monster Mod Pack with having enemy monsters on your side and ones you couldn't obtain originally was quite the shocker so thank you and the modders for putting in the effort to make such great releases. Really looking forward to the next one! :)

Since the holidays are getting close I have to ask if we can expect the next monster mod release before Thanksgiving or at least before Christmas and the new year? If not that's alright I'm just waiting to see what the next release holds which given the amount of time since the last release I'm just hoping for a lot of new changes/things xD

Can't say with certainty how huge it will be, but we'll see!
Of worthy note, I've been figuring out how Adornments work lately..

Sounds awesome! Just don't overwork yourself on these other projects or else it'll leave you tired out for awhile so try to do what you can but don't overwhelm yourself with too many games to mod.
