Does the item count now show up in battles? That was quite a problem in the original game, especially vs Legend Weapon >.<

Wouldn't it be better to not show the item at all in the case of items? Else, it kinda sucks to spoil all existing items right at the game start (although there are only 4 items so that might not be that bad. I know some of my early games actually did that since you selected items from a Menu() thing.

Do you plan to show the abilities that come with each battle command so we know in advance what gets equipped? (possibly enabling the ability to use Cure outside battles in the process)

I realized that i won't have time to upload screenshot this afternoon, so I'll do it now even though physical attack is not really complete.

As I said, the animations are not complete yet

Just making sure, since earlier on IRC you seemed to have in mind to go for FF1 NES-like magic animations , which would kinda have been a massive backward step from the original game released more than a decade earlier

Lol that actually kinda looked nice for ASCII. The issue with ASM/Axe/non-TI-BASIC RPGs is often that authors cut down on battle graphics for some reasons. In most cases, they do not even show a single monster/char sprite so battles are pretty much menu-based, and when there are graphics, the only magic animations they're really simple. If you don't do this you might even be the 3rd ever non-BASIC 83+ RPG to ever feature battle animations at all, behind Dying Eyes and Final Fantasy 1.198.

We miss 100% of the time due to bugs so I never had the chance to see magic in action.
