Update to the latest verion of luma. There was a mistake made in luma 10.0 that broke layeredFS from working.
chaos has been for a good long time. Simply search more till ya find it. We cannot tell ya anything of its location.
That chaos site is dead now FYI.
I finally updated my 3DS and trying to do Luma3DS (10.0.1) LayeredFS. Tried using the ones from the MINI and no luck atm. Trying to figure out what I'm missing. And where the latest files are, cause apparently what I have isn't the most recent files.

Uhm. a little late to the party are we? That was already mentioned and known well over a month ago.
Aight, can you PM me where the latest builds for the LayeredFS/MINI uploads are? That's all I ask, and I'm tired of how everyone just beats around the bush here.
EDIT: At least I figured out the way to get it to work is to make a romfs folder inside the title ID, the place the files there from MINI:
EDIT 2: I have Bravely Default FTS and Bravely Second japanese versions fully extracted, and pulling the files to use for Luma3DS LayeredFS, thanks to the list @FGFlann provided.
Okay so what's missing from the BS side which I'm trying to pin point now are two things:
1) The Job icons (change Hawkeye's icon from the cowboy hat back to the feather)
Before (US):
After (Patched) Can't find out where these sprites are stored.:
I'm guessing it's in the crowd.fs in Graphics/UI/Common/
Inside that archive is the following files
As I've tried "Ability_job_skill_ss" and "Ability_job_skill_ss_en" but nothing changed.
And the battle icons for targets. Which are found. I noticed it with Aimee, and found the proper files:
Heh, I just noticed that the Astrologian job symbol is different too, omitted the star in the crescent. OoT all over again.
Before (US):
After (Patched):
I'm playing the demo currently, and since I can't obtain the JP Demo, I used the files instead from the full game, and they all work fine, haha.

Personally I have everything uncensored except the Hawkeye job only because the dialogs, weapons, animations, and voice acting would be too annoying/impossible to change to fully match the original job.
sorry, but if I play For the Sequel, i dont need this uncensored patch, right?? Whats then the purpose of this patch, if we already have an uncensored version with english text?
Basically this was what was available in cia format, with the Japanese Model imported into the EU/USA version, where someone can install the modded version to get the outfits they wanted and then reinjected back to the original version.
This was what was available in
You can't asks for warez here that why the download links were removed. Google is your friend.
I want to play this game for the first time and its so confusing with all the versions and this censor/uncensored stuff, I have been reading already for some hours about all of this but still its not completely clear.
If i want to play the "definitive edition", aka most complete and uncensored version with japanese audio and english text; should i just play "For the Sequel"?? From what i have researched, this is my conclusion. I just cant understand what was the purpose of this uncensored patch when an official uncensored version already existed (for the sequel), is this patch still relevant in any way?
Also, i have read that there is an update for "for the sequel" version but that its not possible to update the game?? or something like this... what does this update do?

The censorship in the original game is largely inconsequential. Whichever version you play you'll be getting a comparable experience.
Bravely Second is significantly more edited in the west with entire scenes removed from the game because of their handling of mature themes. No patch currently available here is going to restore them or insert the English script into the Japanese version, so once again you're down to restoring cosmetic changes.

Hello Nevermore,
I was too late to download those scripts from "that chaos site" before it was shut down, and Asia81 hasn't reuploaded them anywhere.
Would you mind sending me a copy of your scripts? I'd really appreciate it if you were willing to help.
Also, have you had any luck changing the Hawkeye's icon from the cowboy hat back to the feather?
OK, I can confirm that as Nevermore suspected, the feather icon for Hawkeye is indeed in Graphics/UI/Common/crowd.fs and index.fs. Unfortunately, it is not possible to simply transfer these files to the USA version, because if you do then this happens:
As you can see, many of the icons are missing from the tabs and the circle of icons is missing. It is supposed to look like this:
I don't know why this is happening, but I can confirm that this doesn't happen the other way around, i.e. if you inject the crowd.fs from the USA version into the Japanese version, you end up with the cowboy icon instead of the feather just as you'd expect:
Why it works this way, I can only guess. I doubt anyone but Asia81 himself has the skills to figure it out, but I suspect it would be necessary to extract the contents of crowd.fs on the Japanese version and merge it with the contents of crowd.fs on the USA version. However, I have yet to find a tool capable of doing this on Windows.
It's possible that the index.fs files may have something to do with it as well, as the USA crowd.fs works with the Japanese index.fs, but if you try it the other way around with Japanese crowd.fs and USA index.fs then it just crashes. It is my hope that someone else will be able to build on this knowledge and finish this uncensor patch properly, because it is beyond my abilities.

Why are the LayeredFS patches not linked in the main post? People are asking for them on various boards I am on, and they should be legally available, but instead the OP refers to a dead piracy forum.
