First of all, Hi, and Congratulations for the release! I made the stupidest face of surprise when i saw the news.
The game is amazing, and the translation is awesome too, (Although as someone who doesn't have english as his first language, some of the accents are a little hard to understand without reading a second time, but that's not an issue at all mind you), I even saw two instances of fourth wall breaking for now. Fun stuff.
About reporting things, I have two minor things:
One is a random Armor icon between the words of the spell "Cure all":
The other is this:
I didn't see any issues besides those for now.
But there was another thing I wanted to ask, because I don't know if it's supposed to be like this. Poyon learnt the spell "Lick", and the description is just "Lick" again. The rest of the definitions while short at least say what they do, is Lick correct?
And, by the way, what does Lick do? I used it a couple of times, Poyon goes to the enemy, and then does an animation of victory or fail, and then nothing seems to happen. I'm kind of lost there and I can't find any info about Poyon abilities (SSMS II yeah, there is some things, but for the first game I can't find anything) or at the very least where you can get them.
I have learnt two skills, Snap (Which you can get fighting Guyanth north of Sawasa Forest), and Lick (you can get it in the Volcano near Pogew, the tongue-like enemies), just in case someone wants them.
That's all I have to say at the moment. Great job!
Been waiting for a player such as you to come along who sees what a game has been hidden from the Western world for so long.
I have my own tastes, of course, same as everyone else, but I put this game with Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Dragon Warrior-IV, and Final Fantasy III (U. S. - FF-VI(J)).
That said, let me respond to your report. I have seen the same glitch in the Pogew cave. I reported it to Bongo` at the time, and he looked it over, but I don't recall what he found, if anything.
Later, I went back in the cave several times and could never make it happen again. Dare I say that maybe you were using save-states? We told everyone to beware of them. If you have a save, have time, and feel like it, go back into the countryside. Do a "battery" save (SRM), shut down the game and the emulator, start again, and go back into the volcano. Try a save-state on SNES9x V143 right before you try the Cure all spell again. If the glitch happens again, send us the save-state from that specific emulator just before it occurs. If it doesn't happen again, chances are it was a save-state problem or an emulator problem.
The period (.) that extended to the next line with the "Sick" status will be hard to find, but we will. Thanks for pointing that out!
Finally, the Lick skill. The walkthrough out there doesn't give all of the information, but the author still did a fine job with it. Actually, I have written a very heavily edited walkthrough version in which I have added hundred of details, secrets, and sidequests that we discovered, but it's for internal use only, unless I had the permission of the original author. Unfortunately, I have no idea where to find that person. My best guess for the Lick skill is that it may lower the Luck attribute and make the enemy more susceptible to critical hits and so on. Just guessing here. Without knowing, I can't add much to the definition of the Lick skill. I will say that Poyon can learn some very powerful skills, and he do many more than the original walkthrough indicates, but you must use him a lot everywhere. I will add that Poyon is not so powerful in SSMS-II, but he is still a tank!
Thanks for the report, Maeson, and keep enjoying the game!
