...post some kind of warning message about higher leveled monsters to the north

this

Makes sense. The current plan is to make a villager say "If you're leaving, stay clear of the north until you've become a bit stronger!" or something along those lines.

very strong standard enemies -> predictability -> eventual win -> simple powerleveling

I'm not sure I follow. You're saying to have strong standard enemies, but what are you referring to about predictability?

People are morons, they figure a warning means proceed. What about don't try this at home?

Make enemy levels. That's what I did! Its painstaking, but worth it! Apparently grinding is bad, and death is bad. I'd hate to upset the gamers that play indie games, because once you've lost them... they're gone.

That's true about indie gamers, you have to really cater towards them. I'll consider the enemy level idea, but if there's a simpler solution, that would be preferred.

Yeah, the Druid are tough by themselves, but once they can their unrevealed spell on them or them summons, it makes it really hard to kill them at the standard levels. Even when you attack using a spell of the opposite element, it will be barely do any damage. If you decide just to put a warning, I think you could at least allow players to save in the world map and keep the levels as is. I do feel, though, that leveling up so far does little in terms of helping the stats of the party members.

It's nice to get feedback from someone who actually played the demo! I really appreciate it. :)

I'm hesitant to let the player save on the world map, lest they end up saving in the middle of nowhere with low HP. That would practically force them to start over from the beginning.
You make a good point about the druids, they are pretty hard for new players, so I may weaken them a bit. However, don't be fooled by the seemingly small level ups. I've tweaked the battle formulas, so even a single stat point can make a big difference! Not to mention you level up pretttty easily in this game.

Still, I'll definitely keep all of this in mind. Thanks again.

Some games are so blunt as to have a signpost that says "LEVEL 10 AND UP HEROES ONLY!"

Hahaha simple, but effective!
