Wow! This really goes to show how much can be done with so little! And the action twist you introduced to the JRPG formula was simple and fun! It's the kind of game that inspires you to go and make your own take on the genre! The only thing that dampened the experience for me was the legibility of the text, though obviously you were constrained by the use of it for the sprite work as well. Specifically 'A', 'E', 'G', and 'M' gave me trouble, the rest were fine.
