  • A 'Universal' Built-In Poses folder has been added, which currently includes A- and T- poses for use with any race and gender.

    • Exact speed can now be specified.

    • Minions can now be switched.

• The Gallery will not be updated until the beginning of the new year to prevent potential spoilers. While we currently curate the Gallery, we would much rather not take the chance at all. Please rest assured that there are NO spoilers in the Gallery at the moment!

Notes
Since Endwalker is just days away, we've promoted the "unsupported game version" warning to an error. Until we've validated the Endwalker patch, it's unlikely anything in Anamnesis will work. Please be patient!
