CloseA few responses, which may contain spoilers:
I'll play around with healing items a tad. Such as having them restore a certain percentage of HP/MP as opposed to a flat number. The percentile progression has been 10/50/100 or 25/50/75/100 in previous games, but, maybe we'll see how 30/65/100 goes.
Did you not attempt to use skills while you were blind? Interesting. Though, I'm not sure where I would make the notation that blindness would not effect the accuracy of techniques (aka: STR-based skills). So, while it might sound like you were hit with that status more frequently than the plays I've done, I might have been ignoring it, because I knew/figured it was a mostly irrelevant condition. More proof that developer knowledge sometimes gets in the way!
Yeah, I should probably have the Elder say something different after getting Miho.
Spelling errors!? NOOOOOOOOOOOkay.
Yeah, I could probably show how the two characters split up. This was brought up before, but, eh, lazy, I guess.
Character portraits are a mixed bag for this game. I still have the old ones from when this was made in RPG Maker 2K, but, there's no consistency with them. I didn't think to use the character sprite, so, that could be a thing.
Damn, I thought I fixed the encounter rate! Though, I suppose I can tweak it again.
I'll take a good look at the speed scores. I know when I was balancing monsters, I was looking at the stats an average character would have at various levels with the crappiest equipment. Such calculations could explain why Assassins were still able to go before players when they hit level 6 (despite being "level 3", themselves), but, again, I'll have to look at where the actual numbers lie.
I'll have to plug some numbers in my handy-dandy monster stat calculator. I recall trying to set up the creatures in the wasteland with straight-up fire attacks, but the resulting INT was deemed abhorrently low. To wit, it was in the teens. We'll see where the numbers lie if I try to set them up with Enrage and or Muddle. I have to be careful not to have them spam those abilities, though, as they take control away from the player!
*Edit: I have other reasons to check out the five-year gap. Maybe I can do that check as I alter it's location, and content? The non-talkative NPCs in the Jade HQ, though. That's going to be rough, writing for them all, and keeping them distinct. Or even half of them!

Hiya. Actually, I think the non-talking NPCs are ok. My notes happened as I was playing, so it took me by surprise is all. I like that there are so many NPCs, and the not talking fits the quick flow of the gameplay. The wasteland monsters can cause Stun, which is a pain after the 5 years when you only have a party of 1.
I never cared when Miho was blinded because she has spells. But the main guy only has physical attacks. Overall, the game was fun, but the statuses kinda got in the way more than I think most players would like.
Was it intentional to have chests respawn?

The wasteland critters shouldn't be using Stun! I see Silence and Blind, but Stun is used by Bandits only! Anyway, yeah, at minimal, I might want to do something about the use of Stun when there's only one character in the party. Also, have some way to point out that being Blind doesn't effect the physical-based skills (aka: techniques) at all. Normal attacks, yes, but not techniques. Though, you might have a point about how the enemies all have a not-attack skill of "cause status condition".
Having chests respawn was intentional. I think it was brought to my attention during the development, or within a review of, Okiku, Star Apprentice as an incentive to grinding. The idea of randomizing the contents of chests was briefly touched upon, but, it was decided that I didn't want to mess with that headache.
*Edit: I may also want to make Kazuto's house more externally obvious for players.

Oops, you're right. Got my skills mixed up.
Oh! I didn't know Blind wasn't an issue for techs...
Randomizing chests isn't all that tough :-) It would be fun to see that implimented. I would even go as far as to randomize where they spawn, but that would take a bit of time to design. I'm working on a game that has a fully functional randomized chest contents and locations event.

I might be more worried about the potential for "save-scumming" on the part of players. I guess they could, feasibly, "save-scum" for both encounters as well as chests.
Naaaaah! Let's keep it simple!
