Thank you for your feedback!
I am glad you enjoyed the game - the biggest challenge was the balancing for sure.
It's incredibly difficult to balance a JRPG conventionally, never mind trying to do it with reverse progression as I did but thanks to yourself and others giving constructive feedback I was able to improve it to give you all a game that did something a little more out of the box in terms of gameplay and mechanics.
Glad you got to the end though - out of all the project, making the ending scene was my most fun and proudest moment so I'm happy you enjoyed the ending.
As for New Game Minus - I really wouldn't know where to start (or end?) with something like that but if I get enough suggestions I may make a small update in the future (or past - seriously , stop it now) - who knows? :)
