BIGMOOCOW'S PROFILE

Wow, fantastic game! I just finished it. It stayed true to the spirit of FF1, though it wasn't quite as difficult.

I noticed that the enemies never got to strike first. In fact, even in normal battles, all my characters always got to act before the enemy, making running from battles much, much, easier than in classic FF1.

I never found the masamune - did I miss it or was it not in the game?

I'm not sure if you're looking for feedback/bug reports, but I found these issues:

• the water floor in the dwarven mine dungeon has no random battles

• the water floor in the Temple of Fiends has no random battles

• slow and slow 2 seem to have exactly the same description and effect. Perhaps slow 2 has a higher chance of working, but this wasn't clear

• the heal staff was usable outside of battle, which felt broken. (so was the defend sword)

• the darkness status didn't seem to lower my chance to hit. (Maybe this was a subtle nod to the original FF1's meaningless darkness status)

• on the status screen it lists "nickname" as lufenian, human, or elf

• the exit spell sometimes returns me to the overworld in a canoe, which cannot move because there is no river nearby. This happened when exitting Bahamut's lair and the dwarven mine dungeon. I found I was able to use a tent, save, quit, then re-load and I was no longer a canoe

• you forgot to include cockatrices to turn my entire party to stone and geists to stun-lock my entire party and force me to restart, losing hours of progress. :)

I sold my Assassin's Knife early on and now I need one for crafting, but they're not sold anywhere. Is there anywhere I can get another one?
