I got assigned to play this game in round 3 of the IGMC. First congrats on making it this far! Here are my thoughts as I played it. First I'll list the suggestions of things to fix:
-Opening text really hard to read due to being red and blends poorly with the pictures.
-Opening battle probably could be shorter as you have no skills yet.
-Need to tell player its an ff2 type system earlier and not depend on them talking to one random man to learn it (tutorial perhaps?). Some feedback on when skills improve would be nice, I did the entire first dungeon and thought there was no point to battles so I just ran from them all, as I got no feedback that my skills went up.
-Narheim is bugged, can't enter the item shop.
-If you leave the 2nd dungeon the way you come in, you end up on the 1st dungeon's entrance.
Overall: Decent story overall, wish I had more time to play it (ran out of time after getting the root in the 2nd dungeon). Using an ff2 style battle system is different though needs more polish and player feedback. With more time to polish and fix bugs this could turn into a really decent game. Though I imagine most of what I noticed was due to having one month. Overall, nice job!
