I decided to re-visit my old RPG projects from high school and college to touch them up and release them to the world.
I haven't been in touch with the RPG Maker community since Don Miguel was running the show.

Here's another hint on the Loki battles...
If Killian casts "Fear," the Soldiers and Knights have a good chance of running away. If he casts "Terrorize," they're guaranteed to run away.
I'm playing the game right now with the updates, and just grinding to get Tsukiden's max gear from Dyros has rocketed him to level 16. Multi-target spells aren't underpowered as long as you're not facing tough enemies while you're at a low level. I feel that the game's pacing now is right where it should be.

So far I am really enjoying this. Three stars per level is a great way to stretch out the number of levels you have.
I really appreciate how each level has a theme.
I noticed a "bug" in the hub area: in the room on the way to Turtle Flats, there is a block missing in the top corner of the room. With appropriate timing and ducking, you can get through the hole, but all there is through the wall is death. You should plug that gap in the wall.
On the plus side, I was able to glide far enough to see the entry room to Turtle Flats before I bit it.

defeating loki the first time my characters gained 2 or 3 levels and they were something like 13 14 and 15 when i fought loki the second time. like i said before i beat loki in the pass on the second try.
Well I found one issue with your strategy. When I revised the download file, I moved all the original beefy Thief monsters to a later point in the game (you'll see them soonish). However, those monsters were the only ones who dropped the Wristwatch. So if that was your crucial strategy, it will no longer work for players who did not kill any big Thieves.
Now i'm suffering to get the 5th star in the shide, i'm not quick enough grrrr.
Yes, that one's a doozy. It took us multiple tries to get it for the first time. In the original (RPG95) version, touching the stationary walls killed you! This is just a case of "practice makes perfect."

A couple comments about the first Loki battle... I dropped his stats BIG time. He should be tough but beatable the first time. For the battle in the cave he gets much tougher because he's equipped with much better stuff.
Jovada has managed to take down Loki in the pass. The update should have upped your characters' levels, but what level are you now? Even though experience requirements have been dropped 40%, you will still need to grind a little. Level 12 might not be good enough.
The levels of the soldiers in the cave increase as your levels increase. So you should go to the Thieves' Hideout and grind a little. Make sure you're well equipped with gear from Dyros. Use "Shock" on Loki and the Knights, since the Knights are weak to it. You might even consider Jack O' Lantern since there is a somewhat decent chance Loki will be poisoned.
Each Soldier you defeat before the boss battle has a 20% chance of dropping a "Clock" item. Use it! It will slow all the enemies in the battle!
Boss battles are meant to test your resourcefulness.

The fight in the pass is statistically impossible, even with the help of all the soldiers. I'm afraid the difficulty in this game needs to be fixed throughout before it becomes playable.

That's odd. All I did was change the variance. Maybe you're up against thunder-resistant enemies, or enemies with higher Int than normal?
In general, Accessories increase speed by a lot while Armor reduces it by a little. I hoped that "heavy" in the description would be an indicator.

Nice shape of the world map. I swear I wasn't influenced by this when I did Legend of Denadel's last year! Coincidence that they're similar.
I noticed that there was a vague similarity between this map and the map for the first game. Also this very vaguely looks like a map of Earth.

Again, thanks for taking enough interest to critique. I'm excited about an idea I have to address these issues. I'll post a comment here when the updated download is available, but I might be able to simply upload a "patch" file to save you the headache of re-downloading the whole thing.
In the meantime, be very aware that the upcoming boss fight is another instance of brutal difficulty. But the boss has low HP, so focus your assault on him (as opposed to the helper enemies). Take advantage of low character HP to pull off combo hits or magic.

Wow, thank you for the input. When I get spare time I will consider all the above. Good "variance" advice, btw.
Actually I just had an idea that could serve to circumvent half the issues above without actually changing them.
You think Dyros is bare now? You should have seen it when it was originally designed. It was heaven to anyone who liked big, open rectangles. YAWN.

Sorry about the errant Phantom.
Since saving with the priests was not immediately obvious, I had the game save for you when you reached the world map for the first time (if you hadn't already). The Phantom is the hardest monster in the area around Dyros, but you should level up a bit before attempting to head over to Dyros. Or at least save up for some equipment.
The best rule of thumb I have is that you should save up enough to buy everyone the best (or most expensive) equipment you can, and then be able to buy a few healing items. Once you've fought enough to make that kind of money, your level should be high enough to progress without much hassle.
Also remember that as long as you're using only Tsukiden alone, he gets four times the regular experience. Take advantage of that!

You'll need to grind a bit, but also make sure you buy the best equipment from Dyros. Those "Thief" enemies certainly sting. And be aware that most of the chests are guarded or trapped by at least one Thief. Do yourself a favor and avoid the chest in the southeast area that says "are you SURE you want to open this?" because you'll be attacked by three Thieves at once, and you won't stand a chance. Better to come back later for this one.
When you first enter the cave, take Pandora back to Dyros and get her geared up as well.
Yes, the Dyros area grind is my least favorite part of this game, I'll admit.
