Game breaking bug: Buffs/debuffs stack indefinitely. So stacking lots of Frenzy will let you have 10 turns before your enemy even gets one. Powerslice and Landslide get more powerful with each consecutive use on the same enemy.
Good game overall.
Seems to me the only class worth playing is the monk, simply because exploring speed is apparently glitched for him. At least for me it seems. Much faster than the Psionic and Archer.
More like FFT than Disgaea. And the fading was probably done to give it the FFT feel. Also, the AI isn't very smart. If you're gonna use ideas from FFT, at least make the AI behave like those in FFT, where they actually move behind you and attack from behind for extra damage.
