Unofficial Venue Following the Official Server’s Deletion
FFV Central has launched an unofficial Discord channel in support of the Blackmoon Prophecy series by fangame author UPRC. For how to join, click here.
The channel is launched in response to the sudden removal and ongoing absence of a chat venue for fans of the fangame series on Discord.
FFV Central already offers player support and modder support for various RPG franchises across different platforms.
Official Discord Deleted by Author
As reported on the r/FinalFantasy subreddit here, shortly after the remake released, the Discord server was suddenly shut down, and the website was updated to say the remake cannot be supported at this time.
A Reddit user in the know posted what appears to be a Discord-DM screenshot (not reproduced here) and summarized it as follows:
Update: Dev had a m[e]ntal breakdown due to a variety of factors in his personal life and the fan game getting a decent bit of popularity sent him over the edge.
The fangame author himself later confirmed that there will no longer be any Discord server moving forward here:
There is no longer a dedicated Discord server.
We await UPRC’s return to social media and wish him well.

Writes Neo:
It’s finally time to play Nihon Falcom’s newest game; Kyoto Xanadu!
This is falcom’s first game in over 10 years that isn’t an Ys or Trails release!
The machine translation is allegedly by the Xanadu Translation Project. This attribution could not be confirmed as of this writing because their Discord server appears to have been deleted.
