ANARYU'S PROFILE

To be fair I missed the spoiler notice too. :D

Also, what's this "tile-based" stuff?! That's all pixel-perfect movement.
Many brain cells... died... to bring us this, er, create that (I should build a memorial or something.)

The rest of your issues are really my fault for presentation; I hoped to lead the player into better understanding of how some attacks worked better against some enemies through experimentation and how they were grouped, for example:

You mention "Gust" as a very solid power; that's because it's an area collision, so it hits anything within it's 'range' - this makes it ideal for small enemies that are hard to hit with bullets/projectiles. That's it's advantage over it's weaker attack power (melee also works like this.)

Some of the very fast enemies that hit hard and move faster than you are very weak against traps and wards.

Larger enemies are most easily dealt with by Lexi's concentrated firepower if you have the ammo, or clever use of Van's spells (which pack an equal wallop, Bolt was a personal favorite.)

The bosses could have used some extra difficulty added in there, but the difficulty levels unlock a lot of their more powerful attacks too, I didn't want them to make the game inaccessible on lower difficulty levels.

I'm a bit surprised you found normal enemies harder in some cases, again I attribute this mostly to fighting them with the wrong tactic (trying to gun down or use Fireball on tiny enemies, since their collision is pixel-perfect versus area, or trying to melee or hit fast enemies versus traps and sniping) which comes back to me needing to make it more clear.

Maybe make some additional tutorials as I introduced weapon types, and explain what rubric for enemy types more clearly. Maybe a tip system people can turn on/off? It's certainly things to think about since I do want to use this system again. :)

It's important to note that even if just mechanics was your goal, people wanted the character development when the characters were so interesting.

What I'd take from the character bit feedback is that if your throwing out names and strong personalities you should polish them up; if you don't want to, use a format like FF1 or other games that are purely mechanics.

The character from this series (depicted above) has huge eyes and a chest too!
Oh coincidences do you never cease~

Awesome.

Glass ceiling.
