But that shouldn't be happening, as there are clearly defined conditions for winning the battle as well as for losing it. The cutscene should have proceeded as normal with the difference of one bit of dialogue.
I even checked the event. There is nothing that causes the event to end prematurely and repeat in the "win" condition. And there's nothing that accidentally changes a variable or switch in that condition either.

In that regard, I still suspect that this was only a one-time fluke. If it does happen again, or someone else comes across the same bug, let me know and I'll look into this a bit further.

No, that wasn't a one-time fluke - just happened to me too. Skipped straight to "Oof... My head...". Then upon trying to leave the bridge cutscene starts again, the fireball explodes, and then the game stops.

Not sure why this happens. It's like the battle ends without winning or losing, but how?

EDIT: Wait. "Abort Battle". Are you ending your battle with this command? If so, there's your problem.

So, another (small this time) batch:

Nitori doesn't see the Paradox Knife if you have it equipped.
Nazrin finds Paradox Knife and Aegis after you remake them into Wondershot and Rainbow Shield. Pretty sure it's the same thing with Reaver.
Excalipoor. Just... Excalipoor. Why did you think THIS was a good idea?
Is the BGM change for both Flandre and Lunatic Flandre intentional? If so, why is the Tiberius Augustus theme still included?
What's with the sudden level 28 spell for Cirno?

And a bunch of equipment description typos and inconsistencies (additions are bold and green, removals are red):
-"Armor worn by patrol tengu." (Tengu Armor)
-"A small icicle weielded as a dagger" (Small Icicle)
-"An sharpened Iicicle weielded as a dagger" (Icicle)
-"A wickedly long Iicicle weielded as a shortsword." (Large Icicle)
-"The natural claws of a Nnight Ssparrow." (Sparrow Claw)
-"The claw of a bird of prey." (Talon)
-"A steel-plated claw." (Iron Claw)
-"A Sshield made of Makaian Ccrystals. Increases Magic Defense." (Crystal Shield)
-"A Sshield that increases all elemental resistances. It's enchantment feels... Incomplete..." (Aegis)
-"A cursed blade that deals ludricrous crit damage. Max HP is sacrificed, hovwever." (Reaver)
-"Sakuya's Ppads. You are "Bborrowing" them..." (Pads)
-"A Ppocketwatch you took from Sakuya while she was unconscious. Allows the user to cast Haste!" (Pocketwatch)
-"One of Sakuya's Kknives. It deals a random amount of damage between 1 and 300. Cannot Crit." (Paradox Knife)
-"A blessing given by the fallen shrine. Allows the wearer to cast Revive II." (Unknown Blessing)
-"Gives 25 TP." (Point)

Because...... Gilgamesh?
At least in FF you still have physical based skill.

Speaking of BGM, I found many unused RPG maker default BGM in the game folder. I bet if you delete them it will slightly reduce the game filesize.

Yes, I changed Lunatic Flandre's BGM to that of the other lunatic bosses for consistency reasons. The Tiberius Augustus theme is still there because I will have another use for it later.

What's with the sudden level 28 spell for Cirno?

It was originally going to be learned around the time Ice Armor was learned, but it ended up being way too overpowered. Instead of deleting it from Cirno's learnset or tweaking the damage formula, I just moved it to a much higher level than the rest of her spells, with hopes that it would be more suited for the second half of the game. (Which has not been made yet. And if it's still overpowered at that point I'll probably just delete it.)

Those are there because they are included in RPG Maker's RTP. If I were to delete them, you would need two separate downloads just to play the game, since several of the other resources (such as tilesets) use the RTP or use the RTP as a placeholder.

Besides, those would have a rather small impact on the file size if I were to delete them. The true offender is the rest of the BGM files, which are .mp3 files. I'm planning to convert all of them to .ogg vorbis files at some point in the future. When that happens, the size of the music files will be about 70% smaller, leading to a significant reduction in the game's file size.

Also, I managed to beat Daisanji. This caused the game to repeat the event between Shinki and Daisanji, and the game freeze after that.

Quote

I honestly have no idea what caused that to happen, since no part of the cutscene event triggers an accidental loop. If this bug can be replicated, then I'll do a deeper investigation to find the source of the problem, but until then I'm considering this a one-time occurrence.

I'm almost finished with the demo and I got the same exact bug when I beat Daisanji. Anyway, I think that there should be a save point right before that battle with Daisanji (I would suggest the area in the green diamond):

Some random observations:

Primeval Mountain (The BGM for Youkai Mountain) reminds me of the soundtack for the first Command and Conquer. When I went through the

that Daisanji would brainwash Daiyousei into becoming his miko and that we would have to fight her. I looked in the game files and I saw a character that looks a lot like Daiyousei:

Finally, there's an area that looks like a forest area in the red circle, is that going to be a playable region in the future?

Also, is Rumia related to Daisanji?

The reason there isn't one there is because there's no real reward for beating Daisanji other than a slightly different cutscene after the fight. Meaning there's really no point in saving right before him since the net outcome will be pretty much the same regardless if you win or lose.

It's amazing how you create Bhava-Agra as the 3rd world when we know so little about it.

Do you need any oarfish enemies?

I ended up creating hatless Tenshi, do you think it is enough for the generic celestial overworld sprite?

Yeah, I think that's good enough for now, do you have the sprites for the other directions and walking animations?

Oh, and please use .png files for images, or make sure that you make the backgrounds of .jpg files transparent. Because .jpg files with background colors leave this nice little halo around them when I try to remove the background color that's a bit tedious to edit out. And .pngs tend to look nicer in my opinion.

"as well [...] as well"
Just a small typo. I played the latest version of the game.

About the game itself, it's very cool! I'm right after defeating Goliath Doll and I like it a lot. I'm doing surprisingly good in this game... I'm not the best in RPG's. Then again, this game does not seem to be too hard...

In other news, I'm going to be adding in a section where you get a temporary party member to help for a boss fight. However, in order for this to happen, I need to temporarily kick a member of Team ⑨ off the party in order to make room for the new party member. I'm trying to figure out who I want it to be.

Because of how the pre-boss cutscene is set up, the party member that's being temporarily kicked off is supposed to be incapacitated when the boss first appears. So letting the player choose is already ruled out. And it also wouldn't work if I set up the cutscene differently, because there really isn't a valid in-game reason at that point for the party to have a member voluntarily not participate in the battle.

*Sigh* I wanted to pick Cirno because despite being the main character, she's the least useful party member in boss battle.
So I voted Wriggle.

For team member, I vote for Wriggle too.
