KYLELASCAR'S PROFILE

Harmonic is mainly (if not solely) active on Steam nowadays. If you post your issue there, your chances of receiving a helpful reply will significantly increase.

It irritates me that the aspects that distinguish this game from other RPG Maker (2000) JRPGs - especially the cutscenes and the gameplay (balance) - are labeled as cons. Obviously, extraordinary effort went into the aforementioned elements during development. Why should future developers even bother with this when their efforts aren't appreciated? The cutscenes, by the way, are well-written and aren't anywhere near "visual novel length". And the "kill all enemies to get a special treasure" feature is fantastic - if you didn't have to kill a lot of enemies, this feature wouldn't feel rewarding. Furthermore, it's kind of ironic that someone who doesn't seem to like random encounters complains about too many visible enemies. Subtracting two full stars because of these faulty assumptions is just too harsh. Your misleading review's score is likely to scare away potential players for all the wrong reasons.

I think the game would have profited from additional side quests, yet I respect the developer's choice in this regard, and I wouldn't dare to give this game a score lower than 4 out of 5 stars just because of that. In conclusion, I give your 3 out of 5 stars review a 2 out of 5 stars score. Maybe one must have played hundreds of RPG Maker (2000) JRPGs to recognize that Chronicles of Tsufanubra is at least above average - or maybe one missing full star results from the "Dyhalto involvement penalty". ;)

Recruiting Krizza early also means she helps out during the bandit's hideout side quest (third side quest in Alpatina), which is supposed to be handled only by Alden and Clark. :D I don't know if having recruited Krizza early is the cause, but during this side quest Alden's sprite is represented by Lyrella's sprite, whichs lead to two Lyrella sprites being present. Of course it's no big deal, just a funny consequence.

This will be a beautiful nightmare for the "press enter on everything" player fraction. :)

During the free-roaming part of the game (2.0 version): If the party goes to the snow continent first (instead of the desert continent) and participates in the play in Utania, Krizza can be "recruited" for the party early, even though she is supposed to stay at Gemeid Holy Palace at this time (she can still be encountered there). Will there be any problems later if I continue my playthrough now or should I just enjoy the opportunity to train her early?

Beautiful game page layout by the way, but it's a pain to read the text this way.
