More plot worthy of FF (if somewhat cliche, lol)
And more constructive criticism:
You should make some non sprite effects (for magic and things like that), judging by the nice text effects, I think you could do it quite well.
This episode especially, could have been longer. Seeing as these are mostly text, all that really needs to be done for most of it is thinking up the lines, given the time it takes for you to make an episode, I think more could be done.
Finally, some more creative scenes could be added. The current stuff is good, but it is a lot of the same stuff. Something new and impressive would please me...
