Okay, so, here's the thing.
This game is really great so far. I'm loving the art shifts, the fact that items can be found blowing in the wind, the world, the characters, there's a lot to love in this game. But there's something pretty major I think you need to tweak.
I know you say in the Explanations file that the game may or may not be interpreted as connected to OFF, but I think you should remove any major evidence that it might be. Particularly: referring to the Nothingness, calling an area a Pure Zone, a few denizen's allusions to The Batter... etc. major stuff like that. I think you can definitely leave in some other things as references or taking inspiration, but OFF's style was very, very distinct, and it feels so weird that a game with a very different atmosphere (in some aspects) would present itself as connected.
Other than that I'm really enjoying the sheer variety of it all. One other thing I might suggest is to "structure" the game better, perhaps through a warp-zone similar to the Nothingness, except you find optional entryways into it instead of using it alone to navigate.

Morss: A very rare enemy that sometimes spawns in a certain house mid-game. It will escape some turns later, so don't waste them!
Mainindy: It is a very moody monster, using buffs and debuffs on itself randomly.
Sprite: A fast and valuable enemy. Provides healing for White. Useful on later areas, which have no healing orbs.
Infinipirit: A slow-moving, bulky wall that will use some debuffing attacks. Weak to special.
Koboca: A midboss-like monster at the middle of the temple.
Tatsuoni: A small demon that loves to use poisoning attacks.
