To use:

Copy the contents of the dlc folder into your Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana dlc folder.  The default location for Steam is {Steam}\steamapps\common\Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana\dlc.  IF you have the Steam version of the game, replace ys8.exe with the version in the folder "Patched EXE for Steam ONLY"; you do *not* need to do this for the GoG version.  (You can also hex edit your copy of ys8.exe.  Search for the following hex sequence: 0F 84 B8 00 00 00 89 5C {there should be only one such sequence in the entire executable}. Change 0F 84 B8 00 00 00 89 5C to 90 90 90 90 90 90 89 5C, and save.)
