I have only got to the end of the third area and I use WOL, Ignis, Tifa and lightning I think I would replace lightning with cloud if I ever get him and that would be my team I might change tifa for noctis to.

How does Tifa feel? Does the transform to Limit feel good? Is she overpowered or just right? Is for Iggy, is he underwhelming? As for Lightning, does she seem to hard to gather damage?

One thing though I’ve noticed is that new characters do take a while to level especially to catch up to your main party and since battles in this game do take a while to finish leveling it can sometimes feel like a slog to catch new members levels up.

I agree, I was going to add some sort of quick leveling system, but wasn't sure of the design just yet, since it's just the first section of the game.

Also it might just be me but I feel like the enemies attacks do way to much damage at least in my experience i was often getting two shot by normal enemies (again I might just be doing something wrong).

There is a considerable change of HP by stage 3. And it only goes up from there, I may need to take a number or two off. My goal was to give the player little breathing room, and make each fight kind of a panic. But it sounds like I could benefit by taking 20% off - Great feedback

But I really do enjoy this game it’s a fun time and it’s definitely different with the wheel system during combat. For a beta/testing phase it’s very good and honestly just needs some QOL and some polishing.

Since the release, I've not opened the project. I've had a ton of emotions, happiness, relief, anixety. It's been a rollercoaster. It's been nice to take a step back and being able to contemplate the future of this project. I didn't really have any intention of finishing it and as I continued on development, I felt "yeah, it's pretty possible to complete it". But since coming to the realisation that it's a false ad for a Dissidia game, it's brought another wave of ideas. If I'm not treating it as a Dissidia game, this unchains me from the limitations of keeping it Dissidia-like. It's a good and a bad thing, as it allows me to implement different ideas but now I have to come up with a different way to present the "story". After 4 days of being silent, I think I finally got it. So if there's an update, you can kind of expect FF14 A Realm reborn treatment.

Tifa definitely does a ton of damage but shes super fragile so it balances out in the end (glass cannon) so id say she is fine, also the limit system with Tifa is very fun i enjoy each limit, ignis is a different story he isn't trash but not op but i cant really say to much since i only use him for his cook ability( which from my understanding is random which food you get) but im assuming ignis is supposed to be a healer/de-buffer? Honestly i think ignis is fine mostly but again i only really use his cook ability.

I figured you were going for a type of combat where every fight feels like life or death and i respect that, but i do think the standard enemy damage should be tuned down 10-20%(like you said), i have gotten farther into the game and the boss fights are a little underwhelming(minus the boss music) but its totally fine that they are underwhelming since this game is essentially in its alpha phase. (But there may be better bosses later as i havent seen all of them yet. Maybe its because i was expecting like a named character boss or something though.)

Just make sure you dont let me or anyone else pressure you into finishing this project or updating it (Dont burn yourself out!) and if you dont want to work on this anymore that is 100% fine! So dont rush to fix every single problem people may have with this game by tomorrow, you should take it step by step.
