I watched the archived stream you did last night. It was fun to watch - I wish I was as productive in an hour and a half.
Near the end you seemed pretty tired and it looked like you lost your spot in my list of bugs and skipped some as result.
Bugs skipped during the stream:
And because you skipped the remark about Brand's title constantly changing, you seemed to have misunderstood what I meant with this remark:
Also, when you were addressing this bug:
It still read "Then go this Tower of Venus..." It still needs to read as, "Then go TO this Tower of Venus..."
Anyway, I think its awesome how quickly you react to these bugs. I received your patch and was able to get past the blocker I had last night. I've just entered the Temple of Ondine, but I'm gonna save that another time. Here's the feedback/bugs I've compiled in the mean time:
Tower of Venus
En Route to Elendyne
- So I was searching for the Ogre's hideout in the mountain pass and was initially having difficulty finding it. However, eventually I saw the hanging vine and realized that I COULD climb it. The thing is, I thought there was an earlier section of the game that had vines like that hanging from a cliff and you couldn't climb those ones at the time. I can't remember where this was or if I'm even remembering it correctly.
- Talk to the Mountain Ogre, and he says, "I want so smash them, break them, and chew their bones!" Is he supposed to say "so" instead of "to"? I want TO smash them?
- Yeah I think there's a bug with enemies. The Ogre didn't attack half of his turns. It just skips his turn and he goes to the back of the turn queue. This happened with Venus as well. He was very easy to beat. Once again, I will mention how powerful Ice is. Ogre takes 120% damage from Fire and Electric, but Spark still doesn't do more than Ice even with the boosted damage.
- Whoah, ok I turned in the materials to the surfer bro and there's hardly any transition to this scene with some weirdos I've never seen before. It was pretty jarring how Surfer Bro exits the shack and then suddenly, a split second later, there's a scene switch.
- I docked ashore someplace and entered the Pub that was just on the dock. An old man with an eyepatch says, "I heard the King has be especially strict lately." Has be? It should be "has been", unless the intent is to have him slurring his words. But he doesn't slur anywhere else so I'm assuming its a typo.
- Outside the Pub there is a food stand. You can't interact with the person behind the counter.
- WHOAH it just started raining randomly.
- Oh, you have just the top part of a tree randomly on the ground. That tile is meant for if there's another palm tree directly one tile up from it. Screenshot:
- Exiting the little port village now and I found a crumbled tower south. However nothing happens if I step on it.
- And there's a little town icon east of the port that can't be interacted with.
Elendyne
- Whaaaat? Why is Corran's Bardiche only 600 G in the weapon shop? Naomi's mace, Metric, costs 3,500 G and Daryl's Force Rod costs 3,000 G. Why is Corran's weapon so incredibly cheap?
- In West Elendyne, there's someone in a red shirt called Teenager that says, "My friend from Brathea is no longer ALOUD to come see me here." aloud -> allowed
- I'm not angry, my face is just stuck this way!
- Oooh I just crashed when trying to talk to the Fruit Stand girl to turn in the quest (with the lillies) Screenshot:
- I like the birds moving away from you and how there's a flapping sound effect to go with it. Pretty nice.
- Just outside the Council's castle, there are two soldiers that can't be interacted with.
- While talking with the Council, a soldier comes running up to their table to report something, but he runs right through my whole party. He also has a typo. "Excuse the interruption, but we've received some interesting INTELLEGENCE." intellegence -> intelligence.
- I'm not buying the Council's scepticisms and lines like, "Evil that only you have seen". All they need is to have someone go visit Vincia and they'll have proof. I know its the guy working for the Dark Lord that says that but I wouldn't expect the Council to agree with such line of thinking.
- When Daryl walks up to approach the messenger, he also walks through Corran.
- After waking up in some big mansion, Corran says, "I'm glad to see that you're okay. 2" Yes, there is a random "2" at the end of that dialogue line!
- The soldier standing outside the room with Gorime can't be interacted with. Then, go down either set of stairs. Each set of stairs has a soldier standing at the base. They also can't be interacted with.
- Haha, in the Military Quarters, there's a room where if I interact with a shelf with armour on it, I get a Theocian Soldier talking to me (I'm not sure where he's speaking from either!) Screenshot:
- Talking to the Master Mage, he has a line, "Say kid, I sense a good strong aura EMMINATING from you." emminating -> emanating
- Further into his lines, he says, "I have a feeling you WONT have a problem doing that." You're missing the apostrophe in "won't".
- If you try to enter the Council's Hall again, the screen starts off focussed on the Council, without me being able to see my player at all. I can still enter the menu, but I can't see myself moving, and so I think I'm stuck and have to reload.
- On the Airship, Naomi has a line, "I think I'm gonna sick." Shouldn't it be "gonna be sick."?
Temple of Ondine
- Corran has a line, "Do your best, Captian." Captian -> Captain
That's all for now. I will resume playing in the near future. How much farther do I have to go before I reach the end of the demo? I'm clocking in at 4 hours 56 minutes now, and just starting the Tower of Ondine. My party is Level 16. I fight every on-map encounter in a dungeon/field, and only fight the random encounters on the world map as I find them (even started running away near the end).
Near the end you seemed pretty tired and it looked like you lost your spot in my list of bugs and skipped some as result.
Bugs skipped during the stream:
In the "In between 2nd and 3rd Dungeon" section, I noticed the following were skipped:
-OK, so I'm not going crazy. At first I had been using "High Priest Brand" in my notes, but then I realized you were calling him "Head Priest Brand" and I thought I had simply misread it before. Now, back in the village, it's changed back to "High Priest Brand"!
- Talk to Naomi, she has a line, "My people have always had heightened senses when I comes to the magic of the world." You have "I" instead of "it".
- Talking to the Contractor, and Daryl says, "I think I might can help you with that."

The issue is that Brand's title in his name box is constantly going back and forth between High Priest and Head Priest.
Also, when you were addressing this bug:
You removed the comma in the sentence but didn't actually fix the problem I mentioned.
It still read "Then go this Tower of Venus..." It still needs to read as, "Then go TO this Tower of Venus..."Anyway, I think its awesome how quickly you react to these bugs. I received your patch and was able to get past the blocker I had last night. I've just entered the Temple of Ondine, but I'm gonna save that another time. Here's the feedback/bugs I've compiled in the mean time:
Tower of Venus
- Venus was very easy. I like that her AGI was very high, giving her multiple turns for every one of Daryl's, but some turns she didn't do anything at all. Just a turn skip. And her "strong" attack still could be recovered from wtih a single Heal spell from Naomi. Also, when scanning for her weaknesses, her Fire damage rate is 105%. She's not the first enemy to have that value, and I'm not sure the point in giving such a small weakness. Why not have the weaknesses more noticeable? No one's really gonna notice doing an extra 5% damage.
- Oh, now it transitions to this vampire dude's lair. He uses the wrong word in one of his lines, something like, "their meddling does not EFFECT my plans." It should be "affect".
- Scene talking to Venus, Corran has a line, "He's been REFERED to as the "Dark Lord." It should be "referred".

- Scene talking to Venus, Corran has a line, "He's been REFERED to as the "Dark Lord." It should be "referred".
- Naomi has a loot drop line with two typos: "The more the MARRIER... Unless it WHEIGHS too much."
- In the mountain pass village now. There's another clothesline with the same passability issue as the one in Vincia.
- Hm, Corran has Adrenaline Rush now, which is supposed to "cost" 5 SP. But the fact that he takes damage from using it, he actually regains the SP cost. Intended? I guess it still prevents you from using it when you have 0 SP.
- Whoah I had to return to Vincia to use the inn and I see big trees randomly appearing over the map now. Screenshot:

Elendyne
- I like how the big trees go transparent when you walk behind them. Nice touch!
- Inside the pub, the Drunk says, "Oh, whoah is me!! My Daughter has been so angry with me lately." whoah -> woe and I don't think daughter should be capitalized.
- On the second floor of one of the houses (with the sleeping old lady), you can see the wall from another house interior. Screenshot:
