HIKINEET'S PROFILE

99 heroes, hmm? Even though I like variety, I think it would be difficult to make a unique skillset for that many characters.

With a name like Chronos, I think time skills will be part of his repertoire. Whether it be Haste/Slow/Pause, a delayed skill with a timer countdown before it "explodes", cooldown skills (can only be used every # turns; mimicking hours), DoTs & HoTs (maybe a skill that compresses multiple turns of poison damage all into one turn's worth?), a 'Hyper Beam'-type skill that either requires one turn to charge or leaves you vulnerable the turn after. Maybe even a skill that changes effect based on whether you use it on an even or odd number turn.

Battle Alchemist is a neat concept though I suppose it wouldn't be as good if placed in Shadow Song since you can make potions if you join the Alchemy Guild (not available in Demo). Elemental potions would be a good way for Clerics to deal dmg once you can brew them, assuming the Herbalist perk not only affects the healing potency of potions but also their damage.

The vampire? Zarina could have some blood spells that cost a % of her HP.

A class that can unlock multiple monster forms (shapeshifter?) would be interesting. Quite strategic since they would all have different elemental resists/skillsets.

Is the game application the RPGPROJECT file? 'Cause I don't know how to open it.

Well, did the first quest and all I can say is that it took more time than you'd think a simple 'go down into the basement and kill slimes' quest would. Though I suppose that had to do with the mechanics of accuracy in this game. I suppose accuracy is actually important in this particular game unless you want to miss like crazy.

Anyway, items seem to work differently for each character? Like Elk ring increases the Hp of Human Fighter/Halfling Rogue but drops the SP of Elf Mage by 1. Or maybe it's just because the former two have low SP to start with? A Bronze Dagger is +2 Atk/-2 Spd in the hands of the Human Fighter but is only +1 Atk/-3 Spd when given to the Halfling Rogue (why does a lightweight weapon lower your Spd anyway?).

In the chest where you get Wood weapons, I notice I got one for each of the weapons you have equipped. A way to refund you somewhat for spending money on starter equipment I suppose.

When leveling up gets you more skill points, it's a no-brainer to get the exp boost passive ASAP. This is especially true in those upgrade games like Temple Run where you try to go as far as possible, then spend the coins you earned on stuff so you go even farther next time. So yeah, got Quick Learner for everyone even though that meant my Elf Mage couldn't use any spells til I leveled up.

Does Filch only take gold or can it snag items too? I'm guessing no or at least not the variant in games like Final Fantasy that can snatch rare equipment. After all, that would unbalance this game if you didn't pick the Rogue. Wait... if you take gold from the enemy, aren't you actually taking what they already would give you for defeating them?

How much does Filch take? I suppose extra gold is always nice though ultimately by end-game you have more than you need (unless there's stuff that pays gold to deal higher than normal damage or an expensive but permanent mercenary). Not like my characters are fully-outfitted when the next upgrade of equipment is available. I'm of the mentality that I don't really need armor for the most part so that's half off the expenses right there (only bought an axe and dagger for the first quest). In most games, the monsters are so weak that it's more effective to be able to kill them faster anyway. Though I suppose it'll be more important here (at least for squishy mages) since it won't be a simple 'spam normal attack to win'.

How damage does Ultimate Strike? 'full attack damage' doesn't tell me much.

What does charisma stat do? Speechcraft?

The random target skills like Chain Lightning can reduce an enemy's HP to 0... and then strike them again since they don't die until after the attack is finished. Not so bad when you're fighting one enemy but against multiple enemies that can waste a hit or two. Granted, random target skills suck and you should skip them over for the all-target skills but just thought I'd mention it.

So Elves have higher magic or is it SP? I assume the latter since all mages start off with 4 Magick regardless of race. Which kind of makes a Elf Mage moot when you can make a Human Mage. The fact that one starts off with one less skill pt and the other two additional ones kind of cinches it. The way race+class interact is kind of strange sometimes like trying to make a Dwarf Mage. They have 13 Armor as a Fighter but when you swap them to Mage they have 4... like every other race. Not that I'd make a Dwarf Mage but just pointing it out. Making a non-Rogue Halfling results in a high Spd drop.

So I feel like Elves got penalized with -1 skill point for no reason. Dwarves are resistant to a status (poison) and are tough but slow. Elves are resistant to Charm and are strong in magic but weak in body. Halflings are Silence-resistant and have less attack but more speed. The three are balanced with the same parameters (+stat/-stat) yet Elves get -1 skill pt.

If you don't have high enough Perception to notice hidden doors when you first get there, can you come back when the stat is higher? Or is it permanently inaccessible unless you locate it the first time around?

Does Feral Rage's atk/def boost come from the buff or is it from the Rage status (will curing it remove the boosts)?

How long do the Mage's Element Shrouds last?

Stun is not the same as paralysis?

Suggestions:
Have HP Skills (cost percent instead of set amount).

Have more risky skills like Powersurge. Like a skill that stuns you on the turn after you use it or a buff that drops your defense but raises your attack and something else. Maybe even something like Earthquake which will hit not only enemies but allies as well.

Have equipment that gives you a skill so long as you're wearing it. Also equipment that sacrifices something for improved stats/effects. Like maybe an armor that decreases the effectiveness of healing skills/potions on the wearer but offers superb armor/aura defenses and maybe status resist.

Include a beast race (I like animal-eared humanoids; don't judge me!)

Dual-wielding with the offhand/shield slot?

Weapon/passive with a chance to inflict poison.

Wow, both the character and background art are amazing. Looking forward to playing this.

So each character has their own story mode?
