Hey looks cool I'll check it out starmage

I just completed Blue Skies. Thanks for developing an entertaining RPG.

Things I especially liked:

Talking "save points"

Cutscenes for story und character development

(Mostly) updated dialogue in towns after events

No minigames (I really hate them in RPGs)

Hopefully, I can return the favor a bit by offering - mainly nitpicking - improvement suggestions.

Things that could be improved (in no particular order):

There shouldn't be the need to install a RPG maker game.

Nowadays turn-based RPGs need an automatic wait function in my opinion. Battles aren't action-packed just because you have to press a button to activate the wait function.

The player should be able to save everywhere. Only being able to save at certain points doesn't make the game more difficult, it only adds to frustration. It's not a big deal, though, because the game is relatively easy and doesn't "feature" instant death situations.



It would be a good idea to let a native English speaker proofread the entire script. That's even more important for a non-native English speaker (I'm one myself, and I'm still terribly insecure even after 20 years of high-level practice and still make a lot of stupid mistakes).

The "lag" between screen transitions really tests my patience. The same is true for the "lag" before environmental effects take place. Maybe it's RPG Maker 2003's fault, but something like that never caught my eye in other RPG Maker 2003 games.

Dungeons are too short.

It's confusing that the order of battle commands is not the same for all characters, resulting in quite a few "misclicks".

Too many for my taste

The game doesn't . That wouldn't be a great problem if there wasn't .

Battles don't yield enough money. Likewise, the game discourages the player from using items because they're totally overpriced. Therefore, it comes down to resource management, i.e. fighting while not using items - which can be nerve-racking. Consequently, there's no "economic" opportunity to heal up before boss fights (at least in the beginning before Pocket Shelters become available).

Furthermore, endgame equipment is way too expensive. I could afford the best endgame equipment after grinding in the Astral Sphere until level 66. At that time, I didn't really need it anymore. Considering the expensive endgame equipment, it's not a good game design decision to constantly tempt the player to make bad business decisions (e.g. purchasing stat-raising items). It also would have been a good idea in this regard to include a secret optional superboss for high-level parties (if there is one, I didn't find it).

There should be someone in the late game who sells shields (I sold all shields under the wrong assumption that all or at least the best swords would be two-handed). Though the shields were pretty useless, anyway.

It would be nice if (regular) enemies would drop (more often) items like potions from time to time.

The lack of defensive pieces of equipment at the beginning is irritating.

There are no other things to discover than treasure chests (no hidden items in bookshelves etc.).

"Empty" direction signs are kind of pointless.

Locked houses in cities that don't have any purpose shouldn't be included.

(Possible) bugs:

One enemy in the Quas Ruins (E part) doesn't disappear after having been beaten (it's always a preemptive battle - maybe it was left there on purpose for leveling?).

The can be fought repeatedly. Could be intentional, though.

The Grand Staff of Old makes a second appearance in the Xmeil vendor's list. Fortunately, both versions are equally strong (and pricey).

Additional things that could be mentioned in the guide section:









Don't let my nitpicking discourage you. Thanks again for your entertaining game. I look forward to playing Blue Skies 2 as soon as it is completed.

I liked the game very much though there are switches missing in the last screens

i'm playing the "complete" version right now, and i'm getting zero music (quite a ways in game and still nothing) anybody else having this issue?

Probably too late to ask, but, went to mayor after going to the bridge and he just keeps repeating the same drivel about paperwork.

Hi, I'm super late to this game!! I just started playing this and I'm at the point where I have completed the all requests in Fidel City. But I'm not sure where I'm supposed to go next...
I tried going north to the snow mountains but it says it's not time to go there yet.
I tried going east past the way that Caleb came from but I cannot go that way either..
I went to the Shrine of Vyena but there's a character that just says to leave them alone..
Am I supposed to get an Arc Stone and try to teleport from the tower?? If yes then I'm not sure where to get the first arc stone.. I looked at the guide but I did not understand where the first location was at all! The Fidel Underground Passage? Is it in Fidel City? I dont remember seeing any underground passages in the city at all...

I'm currently controlling Skye and his party if that helps..
Please Help!

Hello.
I am enjoying the game so far.
There are things that could be improved, such as: overpriced weapons and no way to heal, besides items before a boss battle.
Keep up the good work, will play the second and the third when it's complete.
