I truly love the change you made with Ryu and the 3 skill tree, the Wyrm guard has to be my fave path for the massive defence/boost it provides. One thing I'm curious about, why did you went for 3d animations for the spell over let's say, the stock ones that come with RPGM?
PS: Sorry for the stupid question but how do I switch party member? I could not remember the command
