Ok I know the last testing stage was a big kick in the pants. Unfinished, riddled with bugs, etc.

HOWEVER! I am currently doing my second-to-last playthrough. The next time I play it from start to end will be after I recieve all feedback from my testers.

Last time I recruited five, but very few of you pulled through for me :< That's ok, though. I understand that everyone's busy and what not.

In my state of affairs, just got up to the Jenova LIFE boss battle. This is possibly one of the hardest fights in the game because it requires you to pick your targets very carefully and strategize on how you'll hit them and what characters to take. I'm currently using Lulu, Levi and Kumo because Lulu has Full-Cure.
I plan on updating and reworking the final fights. Depending on my motivation levels, and if I can get the sprites done, if you complete the 'extra' bosses (the two in the Omniax Building's research floor, and Ultima Weapon) both Alicia and Arithial will have a third form. Right now, Arithial has normal and one winged angel (one wing, flying) and Alicia has her normal cream dress (will post a concept of her soon) and then her as Ultimecia. If I get the motivation going, Arithial will also have the Angelic/Seraphim form (called 'Safer' in the crappy FF7 translation) and Ultimecia will have her time-compression form, which will be slightly redesigned to fit Alicia's split forms- the original Alicia hanging upside down. If you look up Ulty's final form you'll see what I mean.
These will have very large amounts of HP and be HARDER than the optional bosses- but they will be optional in themselves. When the game asks you whether you want to head up, if you've completed the other three bosses, it'll give you three options instead of two.

But, all depends on my motivation levels.

ANYWAY! This time I'm asking for DOUBLE the amount of testers if I can get my grubby hands on them.
also would you lazy bastards write shit down you telling me there's a spelling mistake in the Ragnarok dialogue tells me nothing and leaves me trawling through pages and pages of events you gits

I'll be adding a Beta Testing Form to the beta when I upload it for testing. It's not pushy, it's just a little something to guide testers on what I need to know about. If the tester feels that anything else needs to be addressed, they are more than welcome and encouraged to write it down and tell me about it.

Ff anyone wants to check it out early, here: http://rpgmaker.net/users/SorceressKyrsty/locker/SorceressStudios_Beta_Testing_Form.doc

But anyway, please comment if you'd like to be a tester! Testers from the last run can still sign up.

Toodles~

How long would it take to play through all the content of the game?

I've never played a VXP game before, but if I can get it to work I might be able to help out. My job ends tomorrow so I'm sure I'll have plenty of free time.
I'll do it.

What kind of feedback do you want? Bugs only?

Btw, you should make that form in google docs, so there's no need for downloading and uploading.

Also, I feel like asking a favor: add some type of cheating option in the test version to make characters stronger. I tend to suck at battles, especially hard ones, so I'm very likely to get stuck at some point. And if I'm stuck... well, I'm stuck, I won't finish testing.

K that's five. If I could, I'm still looking for 4 more- I'll probably ask my friend really nicely to play it again 'cause he's awesome.

List so far:

-Link
-NightBlade
-calunio
-Deckiller
-Rora (:P)
I'll do it. I really liked the lite version, I just never got a chance to finish it. Do you still need a tester Kyrsty?
Are you still working on this or am I supposed to download it now?
