This is a surprisingly epic and fun RPG. I just reached the normal route true ending. A short ending guide describing the endings and how to reach them would be awesome, because I normally don't like to play through RPGs more than once, but I think I will at least try out the chaos route.

Humor, plot twists, the level-up system and the sometimes "preaching" dialogue lines are definitely hit or miss, yet I liked this "change of pace" compared to other old-school JRPGs.

Despite reaching the true ending, I probably haven't found all secrets. What's the purpose e.g. of

Show

- the Runic Crystal?

- the Mysterious Key?

- the "Why is this in the middle?" boulder on Mount Threznor?

- the crystal, the amulet and Sans-Castle in Snowblibli Village?

There are also a few (possible) bugs, glitches, mistakes etc. I would like to address:

- You should change the window skin. The player can hardly see what he's clicking on, especially in window mode.

- Def Crystalines seem to work like Agi Crystalines: Def Crystalines raise Speed instead of Defense (though I'm thankful for that, because agility is usually the most important stat in RPG Maker 2003 battle systems).

- George can attack with 0 MP even though a normal attack costs (should cost) him 1 MP.

- Zaun's skill Expose Defence (level 2) doesn't inflict 3 % HP damage once.

- The guy guarding the Underground Cavern says his lines twice.

- Is it supposed to be Kingarden (guide book - Challenge House entry -, teleporation crystals) or Kingarder (sign on location)?

- When boarding the elevator on the Azkagon police station's 4th floor, the text should say "Go to floor 3" instead of "Go to floor 4"

- There are a few obstruction mapping errors, most noticeable the left wall on the first screen after having fought Papyrus for the first time (subsequent to the minefield passage puzzle - maybe this map even mirrors itself).

- Teleporting from Mount Threznor (entrance) to Mount Threznor (entrance) freezes the game. Thankfully, teleporting from other locations to Mount Threznor (entrance) works just fine.

- Lots of spelling errors, but I've seen much worse and it doesn't ruin the experience.

Thank you for a - nevertheless - very entertaining game. It was definitely worth my time.

...just let people change the game. If they're looking to change the game it means you stuffed up somewhere with the eventing or balance. Most people don't bother opening a game unless they're stuck. I know that's the only reason I've ever bothered to open a game.


Honestly, though, what harm does it do you to let them edit the gameplay in a way to make it easier for them to pass the game? Shouldn't you want them to be able to see the end of your game and get the full experience? The only issue would be if they were to then re-upload it online, but people tend to play then delete, so... where's the issue? I mean, you did say you don't care about the resources, so it's not a big deal if they just mess around with the game itself as long as they don't share it. :/
