Indeed, I just tested the first mission in Reimu's story. I activated Sense on the first turn. By the second, the Strike part had worn off. The Alert part did not. It never disappears from the status, and likewise, dodge rate stays perfect. This also applies for protecting Akyu in Reimu's Chapter 4. Her Alert never wears off as well, making protecting her a tad redundant. So that playing the game isn't broken, I completely avoid using Sense and Alert in full, but it would still be nice to find a true fix. Reimu becomes rather weak without such a decent skill, given it would work proper. I do have the latest version, given it shows "ver.1.1.2" on the top of the window.
Again, I'll ask as well. If anyone can locate the save directories, I'd be appreciative. Changing the folder name that the .exe file is in treats it as if it's a whole new game. Deleting everything and putting fresh files into the folder retains save data (chronicles, last saves, and all), even though it's basically a "fresh install." This usually means it is taking from another directory, but I am baffled as to where this is.
Thanks again.
Edit: I've searched the registry as well, but I'm not sure how well I'm doing searching. Help would be most appreciated.
