Very nice work, Marco! You've managed to make yet another epic story and made even some truly absurd things fit into the overall storyline. I am, as always, astonished at how big a game you've managed to create in the short time frame.
Your character sprites are getting progressively more detailed with every game and I think they look great. The map was a very welcome addition, given how frequently we're visiting multiple locations.
It would have been nice to see a bit more detail in the backgrounds and item descriptions, but on the other hand, keeping it limited to the necessities did make it easier to stay focused on the main objective. And I didn't even encounter any bugs!
