No worries!
The next big update will mainly focus on BE content but will also have more party events where the party characters talk between themselves, some new quests, optimization, some reworked/improved mechanics and a few other things. As soon as this is done, more story content and new areas will be my primary focus!
I believe the value for ranked up enemies is still in the save files somewhere and can be edited. I'd like to re-add this feature at some point but I don't know what form it will take, or what requirements it will have and such. Linking it to difficulty is interesting but it would also "spoil" the BE which I'd like to be first seen through amplifying your own characters.
But yeah! I'd like this to be back at some point ^^
