That was a fantastic video, CC! You've got some great advice and give criticism very well! :D
I want to echo your thoughts on this: For a person's first RPG Maker game, this game has a ton of promise. I also agree that some of the setup is pretty generic for an RPG, but also has enough charm to potentially overcome that.
I second that Nero is the most interesting character thus far, but am looking forward to meeting the rest of the cast, like the witches and getting to see more of Elaina. :D
