First off, I really enjoyed your game.  Last night, I just finished completing it for the the first time.  Got the neutral ending, while also accidentally killing Rilanne during the sins incident.  Planning to go to do more run throughs.  It's been really fun.

Also, I saved doing the last Stairway to Heaven till near the end, and found I can't use any of Celeste's skills or magic.  I can't even use her healing skills outside of battle.   I noted from the corresponding page number (and the fact Rillane's sprite is shown though she doesn't speak because it's after she was killed by Malayna) that this was meant to be done quite earlier from where I was at that point, so I'm wondering if this the game getting confused because I waited too long.

Oh, this is quite interesting indeed. I have... no idea how that could have happened. The Riliane part I guess is a fault on my part I can easily fix, but being unable to use Celeste's abilities? I have no idea what could have resulted in that... I will look into it but, I haven't slept properly since newyears eve so it's kinda hard for me to focuss...

So far I was unable to replicate the part about being unable to use Celeste's skills. I fixed Riliane showing up when she's dead though, I think! There's so many variables to think of that going back a year after I wrote all this feels like looking at someone else's code.

Be sure to get some rest.

Riliane's sprite being there when she's meant to be dead may be the issue.  I just went through the quest again with her alive, and didn't have that problem.

Edit:  But on another note, for some reason when I enter the cave with Riliane after the suicide bomber blows himself up on the bridge, I can't go pass that narrow ridge where the bat enemy is.  It's like there's this invisible wall.  I can pass with other characters in my party, but Riliane can't be in it or I can't pass.

I don't think those are necessarily related sadly, As I was able to pass there before, sadly the game has become quite a mess of script, switches and variables to the point it's gotten unstable and I just don't know what to do with it anymore. The project became more than I can manage alone.

Going back after such a long time, noting makes sense anymore. I will still try but, So far I can't replicate the issue with Celeste's skills not being usable after the last trial. So I can't see what went wrong there.

I'm not surprised with how much is packed in there.  I didn't know there was a strategy RPG in this as well until I got to Ostwuld.  I avoided Arrowar and took the marsh area instead and had Gaia do Grunwhal for me.  Not to mention the minigames scattered around and certain areas changing based on playing during the holidays, I'm not surprised if all these variables somehow unintentionally affect each other.

Still, despite the issues I had, I got through the game.  And redid the final area multiple times to get both the neutral and pure endings.  And I'm looking forward to starting another playthrough from the beginning.  This game is fun, and I can't give enough admiration and praise to you for making this project a reality.

Thank you! I'm glad you had fun with the game despite its flaws, I've still been messing around with switches and other triggers to try and get to the root of the issues but so far no luck, I kinda hope that by some miracle I will find out what caused them so I can hopefully create a fix! I know it's a free game but I would like for it to not be a total mess~ At least I learned a lot making this.
