Still in the early stages of playthrough; I can't get the rpgmaker for linux to work on my PCLinuxOS machine, it only works on my Linux Mint install, which I'm only at 1/week!  I'll have some edits for the Chapter 1 playthough, so if you downloaded it, check back in a few days for the updated version!

Found some crocks that existed in Ker's original and haven't been addressed in the Remaster, specifically in the starting equipment.  First off, money is tight, the 1st job is the wolf tails, and that's HIGH DIFF if you happen to do it before you collect Terra!  If the world is going to be "open" enough to let you do certain tasks in any order, they should be doable in any order!  Either that, as is done elsewhere, force the player to Do The Things in the intended order!

Second, WHY is it that a 50gp Bracer (usable by Sarah only, of the initial group) adds exactly as much Defense as a 25gp Small Shield (usable by MC or Sarah)?  Except that the Small Shield adds other benefits as well?!  This is just one example, the whole equipment scheme needs to be audited.  With starting cash as tight as it is, buying the wrong thing(s) can really f--k the player over; the Remaster less generous with starting equipment than the original, Sarah's starting weapon being a short sword instead of a longsword, for example.  

Third, I'm a little rusty with RPGMaker key bindings, which differ from, say, your typical (and now more common) Ren'Py game.  I missed a bunch of early screenshot opportunities because I hadn't stumbled back upon the keys to hide text and so forth.  How about a keyboard reference card?

I agree that going to the wolf quest just from the start is a bit difficult. This is the second dungeon, the first one being the vermin cave. Get level 2 in this cave and buy the best armor for Ralph, that should do the trick for most of chapter 2 combat.

About the bracers, in fact they can be used by Samantha, that's why their cost is higher than the one of a low tier shield that only Sarah/the MC can equip.

 Just like a tier 3 leather armor may have the same amount of def as a tier 2 chainmail. The Eleen shop sells both Tier 0 and Tier 1 stuff.

I also agree we should mention using ctrl for hiding text - but it's not a built-in feature of RPGMaker, we coded it.

EDIT: my eyes got tangled up on the two names starting with S, so it sort of makes sense...but with me missing the vermin job, I had to short my party on equipment.  IIRC my Samantha was stuck with (I'll have to get to my other machine with that playthrough to check)

I somehow completely bypassed the vermin raid!  No wonder I've been chronically short of cash (which was my main complaint with my 1st playthru of Ker's original, back in the day...how easy it was to miss moneymaking opportunities, and then get locked out of them!)

This is why I rewrote someone else's guide, rather than try to play everything out myself.  I don't have time for that.  Because this game has a lot of annoying "gotchas" and, left to my own devices, I miss stuff.  

where could i find the guide ?

I'd posted the link downthread.  Here's what I have:  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12XAjvOFi0JSQqB1mmvHZaRzBeaha13Nn?usp=sha...  Bear in mind my guide isn't complete; I missed the vermin raid early on, and I'm behind the current development.  As to where the original I started with came from, it's been years, I don't remember.  But since I searched it up originally, you should be able to as well.

Second caveat, my playthrough of Fylokon's version is lagging as well; my guide may not incorporate changes Fylokon made, it's moree off of Ker's original.  But it's better than nothing.

Wolf quest was the 1st thing V. sent me to, and Hizzoner the mayor didn't have anything immediately after freeing Terra...or so it seemed.
