After almost 800 hours of hard work, my first original non-Nier project is finally here! First, I’d like to thank Papachin for pushing me to do this.
I’ve had this concept in my mind for many years, and it’s truly touching to finally be able to release it.

What it affects:
-Total file number: 850+
-Every Dragoon Skill (PVP and PVE)
-New VFX and Player Animation
-Skill Icons
-Custom Hand Painted Job HUD
-.atch Modification to change main hand (right)
-Custom Emote (Salute)
-Color Choice
-Screenshake Control


As for the modpack itself—whenever a game features a character with an eastern-inspired design, especially one incorporating loong dragons, I instantly fall in love with it. I wanted to channel that passion into a job, and for obvious reasons, I chose DRG. This mod focuses on eastern-style spears, such as the naginata and guan dao, with an emphasis on slashing motions rather than the traditional DRG piercing attacks.

To allow for greater freedom in custom animations, I also modified the DRG main hand, changing it from left-handed to right-handed via .atch modifications.

My main inspirations for this modpack were Jiyan (WuWa), Dan Heng IL (Star Rail), Gaon (Lunia—though I doubt many will get this reference), and a touch of Blade (Star Rail).
From the sneak peeks I shared, some might have assumed the entire mod would follow that turquoise color palette, but I wanted more variety in the design. So, I also added a second dragon—this time red—to diversify the aesthetic.

This is my most ambitious modpack yet (+400 MB! lol), featuring multiple 3D models and a brand-new animation for every DRG skill.
It’s also the project with the longest development time and the highest workload I’ve tackled so far. I truly hope you all enjoy it—I’ve poured my heart and soul into this!
