This day has been a long time coming. I've been trying to come up with a good way to put it, but... nothing really came to me.
It looks like the final major client update of episode 4 was last Tuesday; it added the battle against Deus ESC-A Zephyros and the data for the duel against Demon Phaleg and the battle against Deus ESC-A Gracia. The 5th anniversary of the closed beta translation was April 19th.
This seems like an appropriate time. The April 21st main patch release is the final one that EspioKaos and I will be involved with. We are the last of the main patch team; henceforth, the story patch team will be in charge of everything. I have every confidence they'll do a good job with it. Naturally, though, patch updates will no longer be posted in the topic here.
Postmortems in the coming days. It's been a long and occasionally rough road, the people involved all have opinions on how it went.
