Didn't see any glitches, but I didn't try to break the game any, so that is to be expected.
Feedback: The beginning of the game with Crowley and co walking would be a good place for some soliloquies. In other words a sort of.
'My name is Crowley. I've been a mercenary for....blah blah blah blah....'
It's boring and nothing is happening. A little bit of dialogue while they move would help to remedy that.
While I appreciate that you kept the dialogue true to the original topic, you don't need to do so at the expense of the story. You already showed you know how to move NPCs along a path without input, so might I suggest something different? Roland kind of exploded when he died, so when it returns to the overworld, put an explosion effect (If you google, you can find how to do it) over him and then throw Matthias and Aerious back at like x5 Speed while still facing their original directions. Matthias dialogue there, while accurate, is very confusing because the player would have no reason to believe that Aerious had been injured by Roland.
It's a good start, and worlds better then anything I could have done.
By the way, Crowley totally hit Roland with a rock in my fight.

Once I get a new computer I'll check it out. My laptop can't load anything anymore : /

Thanks for the feedback, Aerious.
I'm not really pleased with the opening, but it currently is for just soaking in the music. I'm still not very good at RPGVX scripting, so I hope that I can fix these problems later. For now I'm just putting it off while the rest of the game is being built.

The only resource I could provide for this game is getting voice actors if you want them.
Well I suppose I could try and make some sprites. If I can get some sample sheets for the general look of what you want.

Ah, here's the sprite generator: www.famitsu.com/freegame/tool/chibi/index1.htmlIt's not very good by itself, but its a start. Most of the sprites that I have (On the first page) were made in this. Voice actors, eh? It wouldn't be hard to add them in, for sure. It would make the file size much larger though. I won't be making any attempt to make them, but you can if you want to. I'll add them.

Well to get the game fully voiced I'll need a list of every character that has dialogue. Being as such, it would be best if you finished the game without voices so I have a full cast list to show when I scout and hold auditions. Since you mentioned the file size issue, that's another advantage. You can release it first without voices and then afterwards with them so people have a choice.
Though getting my voice acting colleagues to care about an RPG Maker game that's really just being made for those that go to this site may be tough. I'm a stickler for quality so I don't want to get random greenhorns who will snatch up any role they get.
Also, I'll be getting the demo as soon as I can get to a PC. I don't have bootcamp on my Mac.

I could try to help with the voice acting, Grayson. I don't have much experience with voice acting, but I've done plenty of stage acting. I was always better at using my voice anyways, especially seeing as I'm a vocal major.

Depends on your microphone quality. Like I said, I'm a stickler for quality. I can make it sound prettier, but a good sound to start with is always preferred. I won't accept anything less than a Samson CO1U.

Lol, my brother has one of those. I could never get it to make my voice anything above a whisper.

That's likely because you didn't have the pre-amp on.

I would like it give VA a shot but I'd suck at it, lack the equipment, and currently without a computer. The most I've got going for me is the ladies like the sound of my voice.

I think if any voice acting were to be done, it'd be done by this community, not a bunch of VA's that don't know who Crowley is.
