thanks a lot for the answer, i guess it depends on the kind of player you are, i’m the kind of player who
chose whatever he wanted so my stat are pretty balance
i guess the one who prefer to roleplay had a better chance to reach the good stats
i’m rooting for you

Hello, thank you for the work you’ve done to make this story! I’ve encountered my first game-breaking issue. I followed your tips on becoming an Arhat and tried to stay in character as much as possible, to make sure I had the right stats. When my character became an Arhat, I seemed to have went past the 100% mark in most of the stats in the stat page, and this seems to be the issue as to why I cannot move forward in the story. Just wanted to let you know! The scene happens in Uchi island where a monk stops me from entering the temple.
I can’t seem to embed a screenshot into my post (probably because even though I’ve been a user in the forums for quite some time now, this is my 1st reply or participation in the forums! So my trust level is still level 1.)
Anyways, the dashingdon error says:
line 978: Can’t fairAdd to non-percentile value: 112
And my stats are:
Mindfulness 150%
Wisdom 112%
Modesty 108%
Buddhahood 10%
Purity 98%
I appreciate all the effort done to make this story! The usual WIPs I read are often quite short but this was surpisingly long with lots of chapters, it was also quite interesting enough to get me invested in the characters and the world setting.

Hi @LexusMaximus ! Thank you very much for playing!
I am humbled by your praise, and I’ll do my best to fix the issue asap.
Only one question: does this error happen the FIRST time you become an Arhat?
In this game, you can gain/lose the Arhat status many times, so it’s important for me to understand when the issue happens.
Loops are quite difficult to handle 
Please, let me know so I can fix this issue asap.

Thanks for the reply! Yes, it was the first time my character became an Arhat. Enjoying the story so far 
Having loops and opportunities to explore the different branches of the story seamlessly storywise through NG+ is also a really a cool take on interactive stories btw

Another little question: could you please tell me the different values of your stats BEFORE you became Arhat?
That could help me fix the issue.
Thank you @LexusMaximus, for your time and patience.

Sure thing, my stats before the end of chapter 20 were:
Meticulous 75%
Smart 56%
Sneaky 54%
Orthodox 24%
Egocentric 58%
Visionary 35%
Life 15% when Maya tried to turn as all to stone and then 100% around the part where I had to choose the correct name.
Some maybe important info though is that when chapter 21 starts, exactly the beginning of it, my stats changed but still had the same value as the end of chap 20:
Mindfulness 75%
Wisdom 56%
Modesty 54%
Buddhahood 10%
And then Purity 49%
It only changed around the time the character realizes they have a third eye, at that time, it changed to the previously mentioned stats:
Mindfulness 150%
Wisdom 112%
Modesty 108%
Buddhahood 10%
Purity 98%
Hope it helps! Good thing I still had a save in the later parts of chap 20, just had to pick the same choices I did before. Sorry for the text dump, I still can’t seem to imbed images/screenshots in my reply

Thanks to you, @LexusMaximus .
I will do my best to avoid such issues and to provide you the best story possible.
[EDIT] CHAPTER 22 is online! Open your chakras!
By the way , everyone, how do you think the story would end?
What would your dream ending be?
Let me know!

Awesome! For me, my dream ending would be where everyone gets a happy ending, as cliche as it sounds, having the fates of mc and the main cast be happy sounds ideal and good for me Knowing that the pilgrimage we did for the majority of the game was all just a dream, although an inspired one based from the actual reality of the characters and mc, I honestly can’t tell yet what fates befell the main cast like what happened to the paladins irl, what happened to kyoko? Is karma even true in reality or maybe the real probem is a different one knowing that automatas and the LPAs are the main probable cause of the calamities?Who is the true mastermind? Etc .
Despite not knowing for sure how the story would play out, it would be preferable though that the story has multiple endings, in the spirit of interactive fiction. Knowing that there is plans for New Game + mechanics in the story would tell me that even if we get a bad ending, storywise, I think the mc has the ability to change their fates and the fates of others.
Exploring other branches and endings of the story through an immersive way, like incorporating it to the story as a whole, compared to the usual “lemme restart and start a new playthrough” is definitely more interesting personally. A suggestion would be though that instead of restarting the whole game, would it be possible to start in certain chapters instead, with new stats that would make it possible to choose the previously blocked or greyed out choices, making exploring other branches of the story less tedious compared to traditional interactive fiction stories? I don’t know how troublesome would that be code-wise though 
Just like being an Arhat, where you jump from one part of the story to another, having this freedom on New Game + playthroughs would be awesome. To make it maybe more easy codewise, it might be useful to use as reference other WIPs where when they have a new update, you can jump to the specified chapter, where they ask you what stats you want and if needed, what key choices you made. I understand though if your vision of a story that is not the same as “classical” endings is different.

Thanks, @LexusMaximus .
Your opinion is precious.
I would make everything you wish for if I had a whole software company. Alas, since my time is short and my skills are too, I will do the best I can.
Thank you again for your support. I hope you’ll like the final product.

No worries, I totally understand. It was more of my own trivial wish rather than something wrong with the story itself. Looking forward to the final product
Best wishes to you!

I couldn’t even make it past when Auron–
I mean KANNON begins the combat tutorial.
It’s just the literal prologue of FFX with some names changed and genders swapped. It even features dialogue lifted directly from the game.

It’s not just the prologue, it’s the entire thing from what it seems to be so far.

Hi everyone!
Sorry for taking so long to publish the next chapter, but I’ve been swamped with many personal issues.
@maveric619 and @bored92 thank you for your opinions. What you say is true; I strived to provide an FFX flavor to the story, so fans would ‘expect’ the story to go ‘in a certain way.’
People who played the whole game know that ffx feeling is an illusion. I did it on purpose to ‘shock’ the fans.
I’d love your opinions after you played the whole game and reach at least chapter 22. I bet you will be surprised by how the story actually unfolds, starting from an apparently ‘canonical’ situation.
Thank you, everyone, for your constant feedback and support. I love you all

Hi everyone!
CHAPTER 23 is ONLINE!!!
Let me know if that works. I fear there are a few glitches.
@Kulkan_Erdenet welcome! You can be a VERY bad guy and do far worse than simply joining Kali

There is a problem with some choices being greyed out: I don’t know what I did to cause those choices to be locked, and now I can’t convince Akira to quit the pilgrimage , or deliver and defeat Maya. So, every time I replay the game, I end up looping back to the beginning at the end of chapter 20.
While I appreciate the save feature, locked, or greyed out options make my choices feel limited.
I hope you understand that I am not trying to be mean - I just need to know what stats are required to unlock the greyed out choices, or I might be replaying the game for a while.

Hi @vocaloidsrcool! First, thank you very much for playing my little game. I hope you are enjoying it so far.
Some options are grayed out because you need some ‘prerequisites’ while other ones are grayed out because I am not sure if I will develop those branches or not.
The ones you mention are of the ‘second’ type: at the moment those branches are NOT (yet?) available. Probably they will be available in the future if I think they will be nice additions to the story.
Thank you for playing and thank you for your patience!
*EDIT: CHAPTER 24 (half of it) is ONLINE!
