Options/Language:

• Should be an option to cancel without making a change
• Language menu should probably be under options
• Button isn't aligned
• Okay button needs to be the proper style
• Text still has subtle brown outline

Credits:

• Should be a speed up feature

Save Menu:

• Steam cloud popup flashes
• Language & Save data buttons need to be square
• Save Data: "Save Data" is not super clear what it will do
• Save Data button brings up the save data folder twice
• Delete button should maybe have white text with black outline
• Standardize on DFQ versus DFQ2 for import versus export

New Game/Customize

• Brown outlines
• Old style buttons
• Button is poorly centered
• No texture on the plus/minus buttons whatsoever
• Need to standardize the default settings between Accessibility/Current Save File & New Game/Customize

Intro Cutscene:

• Doesn't show if you have tutorials turned off. Should respect the cutscene flag, not the tutorial flag
• Text is not centered
• Textbox is not centered
• Illustrations don't exist

Cutscenes in general:

• Are meant to tie the background to the location that spawns them, but actually are tied to whatever your current map position is
• Can't navigate back and forth with keyboard controls
• Enter skips automatically, that's not good
• Back button should always be visible, just disabled, for visual balance
• ultrawide formats break cutscene layout
• resolution-dependent text overrun

Shop screen:

• Needs a background
• Always keep the shop window open
• "No weapons to craft" but we still show "attack" / "specials"
• You can't buy something and NOT equip it if you have "equip after purchase" checked
• Need indicators for each sub shop that has items available

Yougot screen:

• Button needs to appear higher
• Text has weird brown background
• Centering is weird
• Could put a title like "Defender Acquired"
• Huge screen for getting a tiny laser cannon
• Description for the laser cannon yougot does not match the in game description

Battle screen:

• Tutorial: "This is a good spot" needs to not be occluded so much
• Can't use keybinds when in a tutorial
• Options: grayed out video has a line down it
• Cutscenes: cut off text in 1280x720 mode
• Targeting options aren't aligned with the options menu button options for them
• Popup victory button has brown lines/old button
• Enemies need shadows
• Walkbugs are missing outlines

Various tutorials:

• Second battle: doesn't detect you're already boosted
• Second battle: should slow down when you get the cannon

Bestiary popup:

• Make sure we do a final pass and get good values for all of these
• Popup is tied to tutorials, perhaps should be its own option

Overworld screen:

• Options button is in a non standard place, should probably just be at the bottom with the rest of the buttons
• Shop is available before you can buy anything
• Music/sound buttons should probably be similar shape to the rest of the buttons

Party screen:

• Skills should not appear on a mcguffin type character
• Enter leaves the menu
• Reset all points button for skills
• No tooltips for stats in the party menu

Battle Preview (small):

• Content does not appear to be centered (might be the buttons)
• Buttons are offset
• Text is offset
• Title is fine!

Battle Preview (big):

• Can drop the "come back when you're strong enough" text

Credits Screen:

• Button needs to be updated

Throughout:

• Can't close popups with escape
• Kill Mousewarp
• Hitting enter makes you leave a scene

Overworld:

• It's blurry

Movies menu:

• Doesn't return you to the movies menu @ the correct tab and @ the correct scroll

Battle:

• Character selection needs to be simpler, no row/columns
• Should be a countdown/ding on your spell/cannon
• Health bar is offscreen on ship if damaged at top but ONLY in certain lower resolutions like 720p
• Spawn point needs to be visually lower because it looks like it is "floating"
• Roland and Evni "jump" out of position a lot for mysterious reasons
• Add "hungry" status when you CAN boost (can afford it)
• Cordelia's Infuse is actually causing damage
• Roland is weirdly positioned
• Archbug walks over terrain that should overlap it
• Need an indicator when you're at max juice and go over
• Enemy stats readout should probably be cleaned up
• Enemy status effects should probably be cleaned up
