ZAMIL'S PROFILE

Same thing happens here. I'm pretty sure my computer is modern enough. This problem doesn't occur from the beginning. It starts from my 2nd visit to the 2nd village. My guess is that it has something to do with walking too many steps with poisonous status in town. I'm not sure though.

Have you read?
I'm stuck because the game frezzes in every town and to walk I have to press esc at any step, so I quitted.

Try fixing this!

I'm stucked at waterlily puzzle. Is there any algorithm to figure out the solution? All i can do is trying and error, and i've been doing this for almost 2 hours, still clueless.

Just begin the game and find it too difficult, maybe the most difficult RPG i've played. I thought i already had plenty RPG experience, but still had a hard time, especially invading Justin's castle.

James's part is time-consumming, but not difficult, since he can put foes into asleep and then recover HP and MP when they can't cause threat. Cole's part is a bit difficult, but Cole and Tak are barely strong enough to cope with it. Calla's part is a nightmare...she is so weak, all she can do is attacking or "weapon break", which can only be used once in each battle. Not to mention those other Ex-pialid junks. All they can do is attacking or using item. Monsters here have too high HP, the battles takes really really long, very annoying. Those Ex-pialid junks have too low HP, thus they dies easily. If monsters focus attacing on the same one, none of those junks can survive, then another precious Miracle touch is consumed. That is, it heavily depends on luck. Any strategy here? Sorry, but No, since they don't have any skills. I ran out of "Crapple Potion" and "Miracle touch" several times and had to load previous savefile and try my "luck" another time. This is very time-consuming. It would be much more reasonable to allow players to save any time in the game, so they can load the game when they had a bad luck in previous battle.

Now just finished Mammoth. Ya i was kicking ass since levels of characters are all very high(around lv70). The following is so far my personal opinnion on the characters ordered by rating(determined mainly by speed, techs or spells, hp).

Eric: very high hp and neutral class make him nearly impossible to die in battles. average speed, average skills(hopefully his "Globe" would do some difference)
rating: 9

Kasumi: average speed. "Nebula" is notably powerful. "Condition" means cheating. low hp is her only draw back
rating: 9

TK: being neytral is good. above average speed. average skills and hp...it's "Determination" makes him valuable
rating: 8+

Johnie: slightly above average speed. high hp, and atk.skills are awesome in the middle of the game. he can deal at least 2 thousand damge to boss(with "Bottle flame") very early. Unfortuately his skills kind of fades out afterwards, since he has no lv3 water and ice spells. However, "Agility" is still very useful.
rating: 8

Catalina: All stats are above average. 2nd fastest character, i suppose. With protection from magical, she has no apparent weakness. However, skills are only average. "gas spill" or "nuclear spill" are not that good since all monsters can be killed by two hit-all skills.
rating: 8

Davis: Being neutral is good. but all his stats are not outstanding. speed is a bit slow. However, his skills are not bad. "Suffocation" is notably useful. "Dark break" could be a good pair with Kasumi's "tarot card".
rating: 8

Phoboe: average speed. high hp and atk. her skills are more violent than others'. i think she's not a bad choice in the main team either.
rating: 8

Blaze: Being neutral is good. avove average speed....that's all. nothing special about him.
rating: 7+

Frida: awesome speed, but almost all her spells hit only one. low hp and def makes her too vulnerable. If you wouldn't mind usually revive her in battles, she's still acceptable.
rating: 7

George: poor stats. his spells deals considerable damages. but he's too slow. very vulnerable too.
rating: 6+

CJ: high hp and atk. average skills. too slow. i seldom her skills in normal battles, since monsters are always cleared by other team members before she moves.
rating: 6

Anya: skills are much like Frida's, but she's much slower than her. There's no reason to choose her since Frida's is there.
rating: 5

Conclusion: i'll use Eric, Kasumi, and TK as my main team for sure. As for the 4th member, i guess i'll use Johnie If the "super special weapon" is good enough to compensate for his poor skills. After all, his "Agility" tech is hard to give up. If not, i'll use either Catalina, Davis or Phoebe, depending on their ultimate weapons.

Great game. Musics are awesome too. I would say it's one of the top-class rm2k3 projects.

I'm now in tomb of fallen gypsy in ch2 and so far have found 2 "good bugs" which are very useful for the player.
1. When it's Kerrie's turn, first press "Attack", and then press "ESC" to cancel it and switch to "Prayer" command, the whole party will be healed and Kerrie will attack as well. This trick is helpful but not always works though.
2. Communicator can help recover all HP and AP for all members.

The music-stop-and-then-F12-to-start-over issue is indeed annoying because we players can't save whenever we wants. The last savefile could be very long before the current process if the player always fights all monsters along the way in the dungeons. If save function is usable anywhere at any time, this problem will surely be neutralized.
