WHEELMANZERO'S PROFILE

Happy to hear it, because making the player feel powerful was the main point of this game. I'll hide the rest of my response behind this convenient spoiler tab, to shield the public from the scourge of spoilers.

Greetings and salutations, Kezmark! Thanks for the comment. Anytime someone uses the word "favorite" in their description of this game, I start flipping out.

I understand what you mean about cutscene outcomes and boss battles. Exactly what an HP bar means tends to be arbitrary when it comes to rpg's. Sometimes, reducing a boss' health to zero means they explode into a million pieces. Other times the boss will just dust himself off and go "lol You dirtied my favorite coat." I feel like it needs to be that way though, for the sake of the story. Recurring characters can't afford to die or be critically wounded in the fight they debut in, or it would limit what could be done with them in the future. A lot of the time, winning a fight against a foe and having them brush it off afterwards is a way to convey that they weren't taking things seriously.

After you defeat Athena in Aster Forest, you'll find a woman running back and forth outside of the Inn in Arcfall. Talking to her unlocks a series of sidequests and scenarios that explore how deep the bond between Pandora and Lanith goes. I'm glad I got to hear the perspective of someone who completed the game without doing that quest though, since I never really thought of how that scene would feel without having done it. If you're interested and have a save from before entering the capital, you might wanna give it a go.


The sequel does indeed follow a group of characters looking to undo the damage Pandora has done, but I think you'll be glad to hear that it's as much about the villains as it is the heroes. Normally villains are just obstacles to be overcome, with only the major baddies having any substantial development. In the sequel, both the villains and heroes come face to face with their own personal issues, and each individual character's story comes to a decisive end, for better or worse. Pandora's story in particular affects the entire cast and the world in which they live. In a way, the sequel is a continuation of Pandora's story, told from the perspective of a different character. I hope that makes more sense typed out than it did in my head.

This was a pretty awesome game, that is for sure.

And while completely unintentional, let me just say. As someone who also played The last Sovereign, the specific guy who heard the Goddess's voice had me laughing due to the coincidence.

Hey thanks, glad you enjoyed it. One sliiiight disadvantage of making rpg maker games is that everyone is drawing largely from the same pool of resources, so familiar faces end up popping up in a lot of different games. I didn't see very many games use Hibiki's Dark Heroes though, so that ended up working to my advantage. (Though I'd love to play a game that uses them.)

As for the hero's face, I had only seen it in maybe one or two other games, so I thought using it might make mine feel a little more unique. Doh! Welp, whaddaya gonna do? Better than using Harold I guess, although I do love Harold.

Don't worry, there are about a billion bugs that I've fixed thanks to the reports of many helpful players, so the ones you mentioned have already been taken care of. Thanks to some feedback, I've also made some general improvements to make certain tasks less of a chore. For example, in the final version, you'll be able to use Demon Draughts successively instead of one at a time.

Pretty sure. Somebody check my pulse to be safe.
