Thank you for your support. 25 min may not be enough to make a final verdict on writing and character depth - I would be very interested in how you like the rest of the story. Most people enjoyed it so far but that is personal preference of course :)
On a more personal note: I don't see issues in using the RTP, if you know how to use it - most of the maps were done with parallax mapping, meaning you don't have the standard box-to-box look and the ground doesn't look artificial. That took hundreds of hours and -imo- makes good use of it. Also, the animated battlers (characters and enemies) as well as many other assets are not RTP. Again – I’d like to see your verdict after playing the full game.
Sorry for the defensive statement – it is just that I spent thousands of hours creating that game and your comment makes it look like it was made in a week to make some money – on the contrary, this is a project from a JRPG lover that is coming from the heart.
