WHEELMANZERO'S PROFILE

Alright, now that the disclaimer's been given, let's start chipping away at this massive comment of yours. By the time we're done, you'll be so satisfied you'll think you'd have eaten two thanksgiving dinners.

I counted seventeen summons in all excluding the evolutions, so it sounds like you're missing one. From what you've told me though, I have a pretty good idea of which one it is. This also addresses your missing scenario problem, so it looks like we get to kill two birds with one stone.


The scenario in question is a reward for completing a sidequest in Rozalin's castle. After beating the vampire quest, enter the music hall and talk to the singing woman twice to start it. Completing it will net you a scenario and a summon. If you don't want to go through the trouble though, there are a few playthroughs on youtube you could watch.

You know what's funny? I made an interaction for the pillow event for when Demora and Azrielle are in the party, but I completely forgot to make one for Grealda. Well that's no longer true as of this post, so thanks for the tip off.

Yeah the balance of this game is definitely tipped in your favor bigtime, and I downplayed the importance of items as much as I could. Why you ask? Because villains don't rely on items, those are for weak pathetic heroes. Villains use nothing but their own stupidly strong abilities to get the job done. I wanted to replicate that feeling, hence the OPness. I will say however, that I didn't intend Demora to be as broken as she is. "Here, let me just give a full party magic reflect spell to this character in a game where nearly every boss spams magic. What could possibly go wrong?"

Revisiting the final boss I do agree that it was too easy. It doesn't use damaging attacks as often as it should in its second form, seeing as how you have so many party members and options. Unfortunately by the time you get to the final boss you've already kicked all the heroes butts, so the giant angel statue of death is the only thing left to fight. The fight against Athena was meant to be the climax of Pandora's personal gripe with the heroes, but it must have felt underwhelming because of the true goddess of darkness and her OP magic reflect spell.

*wrings hands together* Alright, now it's time to get to the good part. All of the criticisms you've raised are completely valid (except for the evolving Demorea thing), and it is my pleasure to tell you that they will be resolved in the new ultimate edition of the game I'm working on. Here's a list of features.



I might be forgetting something but those are the features that come to mind. I'm hoping that the game will be a different enough experience for players to want to play through it again, and enjoy some new content with Serene's story. The new version will address a lot of the concerns you had, but I'm afraid I can't deliver on the postgame thing. As much fun as it would be, it would be a massive undertaking, and considering how ridiculously overambitious I am, that's saying a lot.

Phew! Alright, now that that's out of the way let me go ahead and answer all your questions. As you surmised, Astranova is a light element spell and therefore cannot be learned by dark type pokemon, even with a TM. Wait, I think I said that wrong. Whatever, you get the idea! I will say however that this isn't the last you'll see of that spell.

After Serene loses against the Acolytes, she sends all 5 of the shards to Reginald, hence why Aegis is able to be completed. All 5 shards are combined to form Aegis, so when it's destroyed its core is revealed to be the completed crystal of divinity, which the villains corrupt and absorb. This is the last you see of the crystal of divinity, as it is now just a powerless rock whose magic now lives within the Acolytes.

Of course, Pandora doesn't even bother to take the one crystal from Serene's party after she defeats them the first time, since she's so sure they're going to bring her all of them at once. Why? Because overconfidence makes villains make stupid decisions. If villains were smart, they might actually win for once.

When you first enter Reddin Cathedral, the preacher explains that Ragnarok's gloom crystals are blocking Lumielle's connection with earth. They feed on darkness to grow more powerful, hence why the dark mages are being hunted. But do the crystals only draw power from dark mages? Hmm, I wonder...

And last but not least, the final question; "Is there going to be a sequel?" The answer is yes. Umbral Soul is essentially the prologue to the complete story which will unfold in the next game; Luminous Soul. In it, you'll play as a new group of heroes working to undo everything the Acolytes have done. All of your previous allies will return as powerful enemies looking to put you in the ground. Pretty much everyone makes a return, and some dangling story threads are wrapped up nice and tidy. That's why I had to leave certain things up in the air, like the conclusion to Lonnie's story with the wealthy woman. Everyone's stories, for better or worse, will come to an end in the next game.
