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.
