ROTDS beta testing

I'm a little late to the party but going to chip in with my experience with the hack so far. Not sure if a lot of this has been covered or not, but at least its a fresh look on things!

Things went pretty smooth for me up til after getting Seren.

Cave to Seaside town seems to have super high encounter rate? Seems like every few steps was a battle.

Haste shoes in Seaside town mansion basement. <3

Level 12 Raditz: Rather difficult, I barely beat him using all the healing items I had on stock.

Ultros: Pretty easy, used Seren to confuse his allies then just miracle spamed as I whacked away at him.

I chose to do Ronan's path first... This is difficult with few healing items and money so I ran from everything til I got Oboro lol.

The S. Knight managed to kill my Avalon when he used Cura? Not sure if he follows up after healing himself with an attack or what, just seemed odd lol.

Phantom Train's second save point doesn't work as a save point so no snuggies or w/e. The diner train is next to it so isnt a big deal to me.

Level 16 Phantom Train boss fight was tough and pretty much luck reliant for me. I managed to beat him on my third try after nuking the heck out of the reaper in the first turn then spaming drain/havoc with Avalon. Everyone else died and I was out of healing items... Had 18 mana so cast drain with my 100 hp Avalon for killing blow lol. Was epic.

General notes:

I dunno if its just me but I seem to get stuck on the same random encounter a lot. Like... The same group of enemies will appear in phantom forest or phantom train over and over until I reset the rom then I get a different group and it does the same with them. Maybe I'm just loopy =P

Thanks, I'll comment on other things later as I play through. So far the spriting and music have been great. I love the random remixes from other games like Rudra no Hihou, Lufia, or Dragon Quest lol.
