Yes, I do have Battle Core and Battle Status Window. The linking itself works. It is just that the battlers ended up getting stuck, as though they keep selecting the linked skills without executing the effect. Having the same plugin but not linking the skill allows it to work just without the link, which was why I pinpointed it as specifically a linking issue. Hope this clarifies.
I was not very much into the Maker scene back then, but I recall that there was some assets used that were outside of the RTP. I actually managed to get it running on my Android device, but had to download a few things to make it work.
