Tales of Medea (Prologue)

Here's my feedback for your demo:

- No game breaking bugs!
- Like your choice of background music in and out of battles, since it was not the RTP defaults.
- I found your game start screen to be original and elegant.
- A couple of things you included that I liked and haven't seen before in a RPGMaker game was the Next (indicates there's more text) used in the text box and the Viking torch lighting effect.
- Interesting choice of avoiding to use a sparkly dot to indicate where treasure is instead of relying too much on chests. In particular, it's probably the first time I've seen used in the outdoors.
- As someone pointed out, pressing SHIFT to run is not enabled in many places. I understand that you probably did that on purpose in the dungeons, given that would allow people to avoid the touch battles.
- A few creepy events: The elder appears out of nowhere, walking through the closed door of the burning house during the cutscene involving the ogre. The lady giving you the first quest to help her daughter vanished into thin air behind the bookcases. Same thing happens to the daughter once you find her (it would make more sense for her to say she's going home and then have her walk off the screen). Also, if you open the cow's pen after you have more than 1 party member, the other party members get stuck behind the gate and if you walk forward they'll walk through the closed gate.
- Why don't the NPCs located indoor have anything to say?
- Couldn't get item west of Village of Faene gate, near the river ...
- I found you could walk under the sacks found in the second floor of the farmhouse ...
- That's an unusual way of choosing where to go on the World Map ...
- In the cave, I found it strange to have the door you open with a key hanging from nowhere ...
- I suggest the note having the number combination to get pass the obstacle appear as a key item in the menu you can read.
- The fires in the trees in the forest leading to the monastery seemed somewhat unnecessary.
- Regarding Ignatius attack, I noticed you get two, sometimes three slashes in each direction when he uses he melee attack when equipped with two claws and that the resulting damage is three hits. To me, it would make more sense to have one hit per claw.
- Regarding fights, I found most non-boss fights relatively easy, not requiring me to use that many items during the fight. I found damage that my party members received very little damage for each fight. Another thing I noticed is that there is some MP regeneration during fights. Finally, I should note that your game is probably the first one I have seen in which TP is 0 at the start of fights. In the boss fight in the cave, I was close to needing to revive a couple of my party members, making it the most challenging fight of the demo.
- I found a few typing/writing mistakes:
* the town elder says he is "thankful of for your help
* you use ".." when you should be using "..." (actually you did once)
* when Juliette gets introduced by elder consider using "help" instead of "assist" since "assistance" was already used earlier in the sentence
* when given the first quest, the lady mentions the girl was "laying lying on the side of the road"
* when you return from the cave, elder says "I thought you have taken would take longer in your quest" ... "shouldn't underestimate those you give tasks (to)"
* somebody mentioned they should go to the monastery training fort(r)ess

Overall not bad at all if this is your first RPGMaker game.

I'm glad that you found my feedback useful.

Regarding the grammar issue I understand that there will be some regional nuisances that pop up from time to time. If it helps, I'm more used to American English. Overall, the choices you make shouldn't make it too hard for most players to understand what's going on. So, yes, I might be me just being nitpicky. When the writing isn't clear at all or is notoriously bad, that's when I have a real issue.

One thing I wanted to mention is that I have my suspicions regarding the village elder motives (if your intent was to add some intrigue that was brilliant!) ...

Hello, I am currently making my way through the demo (I finished up with the cave) and it seems neat so far, but there are a few things I would like to point out:

1) It is possible to 'miss' Ignatius altogether by luring him to a larger area and then opening the chest containing the lock combination. While this is unlikely to be something a person does on accident, you may want to consider creating a scenario where something like this cannot happen (ex: place him in front of the chest or, preferably, the crystal orb blocking the path and make him stay put in order to guard the object in question).

2) There is a cave in when the party enters the boss area and the mine is blocked off by rocks if you try to reenter it, so how did the party get out of the boss room in the first place?

3) The farmer by the cows gives you infinite Stimulants.

4) You can climb the cracked walls on the second floor of the stimulant farmer's house and you can walk inside the walls on the second floor of the elder's house if you approach them from the upper-right segment of the room.

5) It's minor, but it's odd that you can pay for a key to an inn room multiple times in a row.

6) the scene where the protagonist 'saves' the village after the ogre teleports away comes off as a bit strange when people are crowding around Lucien to thank him and happy music is playing while the town is still very much on fire; you may want to consider changing this scene around to have the elder or someone else mention the fire first and then do a brief skip to after the fire has been put out.

7) Having the bandits say "Thou shall not pass!" is immersion-breaking and honestly isn't worth the reference in my opinion. The bandits themselves also all look human yet Lucien mentions to the elder that the cave was filled with orcs (ogres?).

8) This may not actually be an issue since it could have just been played for laughs, but it seems odd that Lucien helped to rebuild the town over the course of several days and the red-haired girl was apparently just lying there near his tent the whole time.
