📋 About This Mod
Looks like the Aetherite Crystal brought something from farther than Eorzea!
It's Lightning Farron as a companion! Fight the fearsome behemoth with her at your side.
This mod replaces the Megaman Palico Armour (there are important technical reasons why this is so and I can't really make it replace anything else without weird results yet).
CrazyT: For the model importer and for listening to my endless pestering about bugs related to normals.
Jodo: For the no-chunk tool
Vuze: For the chunk tool
YAVNE for being the best blender tool to solve the problem of shadows and normals and without which I'd never gotten this thing to publishable state.
