"Dark secrets" of white magic? Pfffft, I love this game!

Open world games are always a bit of fun, so I'm looking to play this, but if hunger/thirst is a dynamic and you have no way of judging it it becomes problematic from a player's perspective.

There is an obvious HUD included in all the game images, incorporating a vitality bar shouldn't be difficult. Dependant on whose script you are using, I know ForeverZer0's H/T script for example already includes a HUD.

The game actually uses ForeverZer0's version of the script. The fact that there is no indication of hunger and thirst is a glitch and I don't know why it's there. It did work originally, but maybe there's an incompatibility issue with another script, I'm not sure.

Can you make her periodically say "I'm hungry" or some variation? That might give characters a heads up before they fall over.

It's alive (as long as people use it), but as I say, it may be awhile with the new RpgMaker.

(The problem was that in the early part, it basically broke the flow of battle. I was set to nuke three slimes and got screwed)

Basically, there's two types of block effects. You can do "if X monster is targetted" which skips multi-targeting. Or you can do what you have an just have a switch check (like you did, which ignores it). Yea, adding that condition is all you need. But it also won't block very effectively vs mass.

That dialogue near the ending is interesting enough to keep (sans the sudden ending). I cracked up when I saw it.

Yeah, despite kinda spotty boss battle, the game is kinda charming. When I redid that battle so it didn't feel so cheap, I generally liked even the dragon battle.

I'm not saying that that is what you are doing, but what you would be able to if I disabled his Meteor for killing the slimes as you've suggested previously, and that I don't want that to be a valid tactic for this boss. Once he goes into phase 2 you're meant to rush him down while keeping the amount of slimes on the field low at the same time; without the Meteors he'd be failing at that.

I'm not telling you to disable meteor.

Meteor Crash - Monsters Present (4-6) - 75
at Unplated.

Meteor Crash - Monsters Present (6) - 50 at Plated.

Trust me, this is not so. You have to at the later part keep slimes under 3 at all times or he meteors you. Assuming you are doing it correctly, this works. Without this however, the dragon bombs you regardless.

It does not matter that I went home or not. At no point during this battle, despite healing, have I been able to keep MP from running out, despite regens and everything. The three trial battles, I tried with the normal stats a party would have. Because the average player is unlikely to notice the lower stones and fully rest. That said, if this does not work either, then yes, you may need to rethink some things.

The amount of slimes wasn't as big a problem as the fact that Thieme couldn't mass hit them. I had to figure out how to attack the dragon and the slimes while the MP restored enough that I could hit with a spell.

Firea did about the same amount on all as the meteor did on one. But the difference being that her spells were mixed together giving you time to breathe. The dragon, I found that whether I was fighting.

If you changed one thing, and it wasn't the meteor, across the board, I would say 5 slimes or over does physical shield, not magical. I attack the slimes, and it's not fast enough. So when I try to mass attack them with Rage's spells, it gets blocked.

I won with slimes summoned. A few key differences:

• Full heal from rest. Honestly, it didn't do that much.
• Magic block was swapped with physical. This allowed me to use rage and thieme effectively
• I had thieme attack physically, roth attack when he wasn't healing, and rage either used the mass burn attack or axe.
• Meteor casting after 3+ slimes. Meteor still works the way I had it above. But it was usually after a summoning, rather than "worst possible timing". I could heal right after, and keep the rhythm going, versus breaking things up.

When it was made the other way, you would have had to swap the boss order in my opinion. This way, it felt like your other boss battles in challenge.

If anything, I found Firea easy. Perhaps an extra attack that 1/1 a party member with HP/MP. Having to act fast to avoid dying would be good. In any case, she's a chapter ending boss. The only thing I'd say is a full heal between battles, as this is probably the issue.

Also, if you have KO persist, you will need more rest spots.

Oh yea. After the Firea battle, rage's sprite does not show up. He's talking but I don't see him.
