Yes, after about 40 hours of gameplay, I've finally finished the game. I must say it was quite an enduring yet enjoyable adventure, even though some parts were really hard (especially in Utefue, the rooms with fake floors) but overall I really enjoyed the game and the story was satisfiying. However, I got the feeling that the story doesn't just end there, even though it doesn't say "To Be Continued" at the end. There's still one person of interest from Are's past, who's also the bigger villain by the looks of it and something else Are and Arc do but I don't want to spoil it here.
Glad you enjoyed the game! Be sure to rate it if you haven't already. Helps with searches.
And it is true that the story ends on a cliff hanger so to speak... But that is intentional. I plan on making a trilogy.
And to answer your question I'm sure you'll have, I have no idea when I'll work on the sequel. I still got alot to work on for this game alone down the line. Next month I will add a patch that changes EXP decay and adding an option to turn quest markers on or off. And then of course there's the "DLC" too.

Yeah, I'll certainly be waiting for the new features, especially Ryoma's Tale. I've been wondering what had happened in Utefue before the events on the game. And games with cliffhangers always leave me wondering what will happen next. But I'm wondering, are you thinking of using MV engine in the future or will you stick with VX Ace? I noticed you have used MV stuff in the game like musics. I'd like to rate the game but I think I need to write a review first, which I'm not good at. I've subscribed however.

Where is Tocaez Temple please!


Head further east from the village and once you hit a wall, turn north.

Well, that makes it challenging at least, hiding the switch behind the pillar so that it's not obvious. Anyway, I believe I've done every single remaining quest and can now move to get the last star shard. But before that, is there actually anyone who'd want Shibuya's Doll I got after defeating the Hornet Queen?
Give the doll to Amirah and get a set of robes only Arc can use. 2nd best set in the game. And also, if you haven't, be sure to visit the adventurers guild. There's at least one quest that can only be unlocked by paying 20 gold. Not to mention a few places requiring an airship. And there's even a couple of hidden optional boss fights too.


You mean the quest at Raijin's Tower in Utefue? I believe I did it already. There are still two things that I wonder though. One is the metal door on the balcony of the castle in Lightviolet and other one is the lone tower to the south of Faymoor. I entered the tower but all paths were blocked and there was no music nor monsters there.

Yeah that may be a good idea. Thanks a lot for the help. Now the only place left to visit is Solomon's Temple in Habala Desert. I did manage to get the door to the left of the main building open, after pulling some switches on the lower floor with timer, but I can't see any other switches that will open the one on the right. The one on the upper floor releases poison.
The upper floor has two switches. The real one is hidden behind a pillar. That one I hid on purpose. Kind of a troll move I know. lol

I found all 7 numbers (6,1,8,3,5,0,4) but how am I supposed to get the correct one without any clues? A 7 digit password has 5040 possible combinations (7! = 5040). Guessing it will take ages. A little clue would have helped.
Good lord I didn't even think about that... Tell you what, how about I just give you the combination via PM and I'll make yet another quick patch and I'll make it so that the numbers you find from first to last, that's the combination. Oh wait... apparently I already did. Then I'll just add a readable hint. Sorry for the inconvenience.

And to find the seven digit number, you'll need to explore the temple further and throughout you'll find random numbers on the wall. Write those down on notepad or something. They aren't in order, so you'll have to try different combinations with the numbers you find.

Okay, I searched around Lightviolet Merchant Docks but couldn't find it anywhere, or a place to jump for that matter. And since getting the 4th star shard leads to the endgame and I'm given the option to finish any remaining quests before proceeding, want everything to be done before finishing the game. I found the Swamp Boots earlier and Ice Boots but I don't know where to get the Jump Boots. Also, there's a 7 digit number in the temple in South Grado but I only found 3 digits.
The jump boots are found at Pinemire mine. Little bit north from Lightviolet. You'll have to solve a puzzle in the dark to get them however... nor have it caved in by rubble at that point. And you'll know you can jump on something if you see a small dark patch on the ground with jump boots equipped by anyone.

Okay, I'm nearly done with the quests. Just one more thing, I got a Potent Antidote Recipe before exploring the mine with Jump Boots but where or to who am I supposed to bring it? I tried Woodhearst and the witches in Grado but they were not of any help and there's no indication on the item description what the missing ingredient is.

Okay I have the first three items but I don't know where to find a cookie or who bakes it.
You only need one of those food items for sam. And the cookie can be found at the Lightviolet Merchants docks... But you'll need the jumping boots to make it.

Okay, I found Flower and reached a town called Lowestoft. I'm tasked to investigate the village and found a Journal Key. The thing is, I couldn't find anything that remotely resembles a journal within the village and I'm also supposed to find sweets for one of the kids who knows something but couldn't find any. A little help here perhaps?
Grab yourself a Mafruka, Tocaez Coconut macaroon, Tocaez Berry cake or a cookie. Cookie yields the best results but requires certain equipment to get it. Either way, Sweet Tooth Sam will give you a shovel and depending on what you give him, he'll tell you where the journals are buried.
Also, The Tocaez food items can be made by a chef named Saul in Faymoor.
