Hi Del,
I have just finished the game and I did have a good time although Christmas and New Year interrupted my flow a bit so I forgot where I was up to

I almost had to send out a call for help to you as somehow I could not find the key for the tower to get to the third boss. In the end, I realised I had wandered off to heal up and buy some more resources just before the dealing with the boss guarding the cave and chest with the key...then Christmas etc happened...and so I wandered forlornly around the world having forgotten about going back to finish off the dungeon

I think there might be a learning moment for me there about keeping better notes of what I'm doing especially when a game has no Quest Log or guide

My bad as I knew that so I figure it is my responsibility
Anyway, I eventually got back on track and finished the game in about 9 hours

Levelled up the characters - Guatlier (25) Eidora (25) Cazis (29) and Hyndla (27). I liked Hyndla the best - I seem to like characters who can heal well and also do some damage! Guatlier missed his targets a bit too often for my liking. I'd work my way up to some decent TP and then he'd "blow" it

You can tell I got a bit emotionally invested in this
The game played smoothly - didn't have the unfortunate experience of getting stuck getting off or on the boat like Klooloo - so unlucky and very frustrating when that happens
The battles were a challenge especially with the minor bosses and the foes towards the end. I found the large damage spells just didn't cut it with the last dungeon and had to pick each foe off one at a time (nasty little buggers!) Once I got Starlight 2 though that did a bit more damage

And the graphics were particularly good in this last dungeon with more details and colour.
Overall, despite RL interruptions and having an embarrassing lapse in memory, I had a good time and would recommend this game.
All the best - hope you have a good year, Del, and keep the games coming!
