When I entered the southern dwarven kingdom, beat the war machine and watched the event with the northern dwarf lord, after I tried to exit the inn, the scene where the northern dwarves attack suddenly started, meaning I had to do the northern battles with just Dominus and Mercury (fun.) Afterwards, the scene with the northern dwarf lord repeated with Dominus invisible. After resting at the inn and saving, the game seemingly went on as normal.
Oh for the bug above, it is caused by entering the southern dwarf city in the South West. For some reason there are two that can be entered almost certain that is why the scene plays twice. The player is supposed to go through the top one I image (NW). I confirmed this and by going through the NW one I didn't run into the bug but I do still get the blocker if I leave through the region via the East Bridge.
Yes, both before and after getting the book. Second time got me a Tear Of The Sun. Funny thing is, after saving and loading my game, I tried to enter the cave again, but it still said that the cave is flooded. After that, I tried to pay the mayor again, and he gave the hint again, after which I could enter with no problem.
Got it. What tripped me up was that the three labyrinths had different amounts of orbs. That said, there's something I feel I should inform you of; after I got the three labyrinths completed and rescued Oriel, when I returned to the library and freed the elemental beasts, then entered the underground door (no need for any new keycards, the door just opened.)
After entering, the scene with Kamran and Mercury repeated itself. After the scene ended, I beat the high priest and entered the knife chamber (didn't grab the knife, just took the two treasure chests and left), after I tried to leave, the cutscene where Melody shouts at Kamran to tell him the fort is under attack also repeats, and from there I went to the fort, and Dominus was back in the cell.
After talking to him, I was automatically sent to Red Wall Village, and Mercury left my party (probably because he leaves when the scene is originally shown.) Anyway, I reloaded my save from the knife chamber, and after the Melody scene forcibly removed me from the library I just proceeded to the next area, where the game continued on as normal.
I have a problem with the Burning Dwarf lands area; I started to visit the southern town/city but for some reason it made me fight both sets of crazy dwarves and their secret weapons before making visit the volcano but after that I'm stuck because the northern dwarf homeland is gone from the map. Please don't tell me I need to start over; it was stressful enough making sure I don't miss the treasure maps...

The art on the sample images looks suspiciously similar to another of your games. Is it a placeholder?
Best ending - Get none of the black knife shards beside the first 2.
Normal Ending - Get one of the black shards.
Bad Ending - Get four of the black shards.
Corrupted Ending - Get all five of the black shards.
The most erotic scenes can be gotten by going through the demon club.
Waiting Tables / Dancing.
I think I know what they meant. When you first see the King, the player is tasked with going east to find Mercury but you can skip that whole section without even going there once by just going into the underground part of Glittergold Town past where Melody stops you your first time there and past that you can just trigger the "shard" fight with your whole party. I was confused but loaded my save and did the east part to find Mercury first and then understood what was going on. I suggest adding something to stop the player from accessing that underground part after the Melody interaction until after doing the east area.
EDIT: Also, the fight after breaking out of the the cell was much easier with all party members (which obviously shouldn't haven been there if you do the east section first). Doing the fight correctly (alone) turned into spamming healing items because most of my skills were unusable due to having no weapons equipped for it which shouldn't be the case because the player supposedly had the black dagger because the king couldn't take it but I was unable to use any of the dagger skills in the fight. It was a very tedious fight. Lucky Stab would've been great there. : )
Neat! Keep up the nice work! I've played most of your games and they are pretty great. I've run into bugs in most but ended up fixing them myself and continued on. I should've reported them here to help you out... If I find anymore I'll be sure to from now on. Do you perhaps have a Discord? Despite the grindiness and all that, I love going through RPG maker games, especially ones with decent stories so I'd love to help out iron out bugs. Or typos/text if you'd like.
