Stuck at the beginning (BUG)

[Séfiro Última]

Hello. I'm starting a fresh game but got bugged. I purchased a leather armband or something and equipped but, when I approach the palisades (military camp) and get the chest, the armband tutorial gets stuck.

Hello, do you mean that you had an equipment in the slot before the equipment tutorial ?

Its awesome how hard you guyz work on the game but seeing bugs like these pointing to "A Tutorial that is forced upon one" looks like a sure sign that says "It might be a good idea to rework the tutorial that does too much handholding"

You see there are many ways to do tutorials some of the lazy devs outthere even have used in-game videos(sometimes via youtube) to just show the player how its done, or some have it neatly implemented in the story in a sublime manner(love that way), i am sure you are able to make the tutorial good and fitting with the whole quality of the game, i do not mind waiting longer for a game that gets some quality of life improvements.

My motto is a healthy game is made by healthy devs, so do not stress yourselves with unhealthy crunches, make a healthy awesome game we all can be proud of.
I just had the urge to mention all of that.
Keep up the great work

The bug here have been fixed in the last patch anyway, for the handholding we want the game to be accessible to people that never played JRPGs before so we need to teach them the fundamentals, i tend to skip games that have tutorials that are wall of texts / images and after we lack some crucial informations that make us underuse the game system so that's why we designed a tutorial like that.

The team is not crunching it's only me and tbh i like working on the game, and as the release approach i feel less stressed to be able to fix a maximum of things before the release.

Personally i hate the type of tutorialization in this game. I dislike it when games take away control from me. In the game often the tutorial locked me into the menu even though i already knew what i was doing, taking up my time and annoying me. But this goes for the "image+text popup" tutorials as well, as this is very similar to this. An option to turn it off would be very good or press escape to skip tutorial would be nice.

I meet this problem again and cannot exit the menu interface.

Yeah, this bug is definitely still happening. I got a leather armband in a chest and approached the palisades and it bugged out and I can't get out of the menu. Running into a game breaking bug this early does not usually get me to keep playing.

Is there a way to fix this? I don't have a save prior to picking up that piece of equipment and for some reason you cannot unequip items without something to replace it.

I'll give that a shot. Sorry if I came off like a jerk, but, it was a bad day and I sat down to relax and it felt like I had wasted an hour.
