As with the other Mardek games, I really want to like it. But the confused control scheme, bad information design, and lousy writing hurt this game. First, either make mouse-friendly keyboard controls, or remove any mouse control from the game. In order to buy items, for example, I have to switch from mouse to arrows to z/x and then back again to mouse. Really? Second, every UI screen in this game suffers from information overload and bad hierarchy. The user can't tell which information is important and which isn't. Third, the writing isn't just bad- which I could deal with- it's mind-numbingly long. Every single person wants to tell me their life's story. One of the best parts of old RPG was that the story was kept strong, meaning, generic, poorly translated, but most importantly: BRIEF. In taking your cues from old RPGs, you missed three important factors that are prevalent in all successful old RPG games: simple controls, simple interface, and brevity of story.

@chaosman1995 FYI, there is an option in the options menu that enables you to disable the "z" key triggering the wait option during battle.

sorry huge typo basically, Is there a limited framerate in this game? Because I was using a laptop with an eco mode that limits performance and when i noticed performance problems i turned it off and noticed i'm moving really fast.

Sorry about the edit, but the game over screen kinda made me thing that I had to start over. So forget the restart the whole game part. Thanks.

5/5 and favorited. This is a very good game. I didn't get very far before dying(I'll explain that later in the comment), but as far as I did get the game was PHENOMENAL! I thought it was witty what some of the monks said upon rescue, "or did he change his name to SideQuest Priest just to be different". Bravo to Pseudolonewolf. Ok now to the complaints, I lost to the Sun boss because I pressed z instead of x and ended my turn. Z/Y shouldn't end the turn, only the wait button in the menu should. Also a restart button would be nice, since I died I didn't expect to have to restart the whole game. So by restart I mean after dying a "Would you like to restart from your last save point?" try again button. And for some reason every time I play this game my mouse outside of the game screen disappears. Is anyone else having this minor problem?

Also, I'm loving the humour. I won't say anything in the comments bout it of course, you'll have to play the game and look out for it yourself. :D

YES!! I have been waiting for this for tooo long. I knew it would take time since Pseudolonewolf has many other games he makes, and a life as well so im not upset at all. I know this is going to be an excellent game, so a 5/5 to spending the next days of my life on beating this! Yay!

I'm enjoying this so much. I hope you're not lying when you say it's a long game. It better be. >:(
Anyway, so far so good. Loving it. The skills and react things are brilliant.

I don't even have to start playing to know that this game gets a 5/5. I'm so happy to see part 3 that I like it before I even begin =D

Love the game, long awaited. 5/5 stars.
P.S. Loved the possible Yugioh The Abridged Series Reference. Why? Because shut up.

I've updated the game to v3.3.056, which weakens some monsters in the first dungeon, though will they be weak enough, I wonder?

ATTN: People who call it a FF ripoff:
Its called a parody. Its ment to be funny. Get over it.
And, the keyboard sticking isn't the games fault, its your computers fault. Mine get stuck too, but I just ignore it. Its a problem with Vista.
Well, now that I got that out of my system, I'm gald you finally got it done Pseudo. I'm forcing myself to go through the other 2 chapters first, before playing this one. 5/5

what, over a 4 isn't phenomenal to you? I'm surprised it didn't get knocked down to a 3 with all the inevitable haters. Anyways, gonna dive on in, but so far things lookin good! *thumbs up*

Perhaps if the game was a bit more accessible and easier for those who hadn't played through the other chapters it might get a higher rating? That and somehow making the directional keys work even in IE, although I don't even know if that's possible. Either way, this game deserves the highest praise possible, so don't let idiots get you down. You have plenty of supporters here who are loving the years of hard work you put into this. So congrats and give yourself a pat on the back, you deserve it.

For all my years of work on this game, the score isn't as high as I'd hoped... Is there anything I can improve in the game to improve the rating? Suggestions would be useful.

15 comments adressing those who say that this is a final fantasy ripoff. ( which It isn't, btw)
Meanwhile I see not one saying that it is.
