Hello, I need help. For some reason, I can't get the game to go fullscreen. Changing the setting in config causes a brief black screen and then the game is still in the same window, despite "fullscreen" being selected. The window can't be resized either... So maybe I'm dumb but a way to play not on 1/4 of my display would be greatly appreciated!

That's what I thought and I figured Ilias wouldn't be summoned that easily. I had thought something bad would happen if I broke Ilias's commandment "Do not trouble thy goddess with too many evaluations" so I was a good boi and only asked for one if I didn't know what to do. Now I wish I became the Ilias Continent's bicycle just to see her. Plus it's the least she can do after missing the baptism and sending Luka off as an unblessed fake hero.
I haven't seen either of the OVAs yet but that gives me some hope.
Unfortunately, the effect is the same as when changing the setting, brief black screen and nothing. All of you guys don't have this problem?
In my opinion they weren't great nor bad either it just doesnt really fit into the characters the way they did with it

Just look at it in the monsterpedia like you can with nearly every other scene in the game. For the record, there's a second one in part 2, I've never been able to unlock that entry though.
Have you tried turning the game off and on again after setting it to fullscreen? I've never had that problem before on any computer I've run MGQ on so it could be a hardware issue. If all else fails, just set your screen resolution to 800 x 600 so it's the same size as the game.
Yes, of course, running the .exe as administrator and redownloading the file from a different link as well. Strange... so only I had this problem? This may be completely unrelated, but when I try to exit the game, the confirmation window also has strange text...
Edit: thanks for the resolution trick, I might use that for now
So, in the monsterpedia there exist 4 scenes for "Goddess Ilias". 3 numbered ones and a final form one.
They are in order: A handjob, a cowgirl(?), a boobjob and the monsterified rape scene. I'm assuming the numbered ones are the special ones since they dont have a fight you can recall. Thx for the info. There is a full save somewhere here. If you want, i can find and link the post or upload my downloaded one.

necro reply but the cheattable doesn't seem to be working or even autodetecting or autohooking to the exe. Note the version I'm using is the vanilla umodded MGQ 1-3 combined version from the downloads
If anyone has any suggestions to cheese through this game via mods or cheats, that'd be good. The story and characters is very good in this game but I feel like the fights are and the difficulty of these fights just add unnecessary difficulties to an already good story.

Sadly, it might be some form of version mismatch (since the addresses of the values would be different between versions) or something similar.
Best I can recommend is, for story, switching difficulty to Easy/Normal, and for ability to replay any fight you wish on Hard or harder difficulties, use my Full Save from the blog post for the game.
Unfortunately, there is only normal difficulty and no easy. So i guess I will just have to tough it out.

Combat is pretty straightforward once you figure out that your skills are usually a waste of resources as anything other than a finishing move. In most fights, the only skills you should ever be using are Meditation and your spirits.
In chapter 1, all of your skills are an absolute waste of resources so just save your SP for Meditation and, once you get her, Sylph in case the enemy has any special attacks she can block.
In chapter 2 and onward, you'll usually have to decide between using Sylph and Gnome but the overall strategy is the same. Sylph counters some attacks while Gnome allows you to break out of some unavoidable grabs.
Once you unlock Serene Demon Sword, you can even cheese non-boss fights in chapter 2 by spamming Serene Mind and Serene Demon Sword until you run out of SP. You're completely immune to everything as long as you use them back to back. Later normal enemies are tanky enough that you'll have to get lucky and not get grabbed for a few turns while you finish them off though. Keep in mind that I've only gone through the game on normal, I doubt this strategy works very well on higher difficulties.
Serene Demon Sword is also the most efficient skill in terms of damage per SP too iirc, although I don't think that comes up much.
P.S. Pay attention to the text during fights, it tells you when the enemy is charging up a big attack or grab and the game often tells you about unique gimmicks during the fight.

'aight, then if you're having issues on Normal difficulty, you need to change up how you view fights in this game.
Fights aren't Grind-based like in most RPGs, they are more "Gimmick"-based or "Pattern"-based, as in, most fights have optimal moves to use. For example, plenty of fights will actually make you use "Guard" (some enemy attacks will have to be Guarded, or else it's an insta-loss) tactically, while in most RPGs you don't ever glance at that button. Other fights will require you to use specific Spirits to not be beaten (such as Sylph/Undine to avoid insta-loss status effects, or Gnome to be able to struggle out of strong enemy's Grabs), hell at least 1 fight has you use the "Flail Wildly" ability, which otherwise is just a meme skill.
If you can't figure out the current enemy's strategy, keep in mind that, upon death (after reading/skipping the Bad End after losing the fight), you're taken to the "Evaluation" section, in which Ilias tells you how to actually defeat the enemy, their strategy etc (while berating you). Listen to those advices to know what to do within the fight (such as know if they have Insta-loss skills, what to do to avoid them, their weaknesses etc.). You can then restart the fight from the Evaluation section, too.
Once you start doing that, even completing the game on Hard will become doable (although in 1-2 fights you'll need to get lucky, too, since it is possible the enemy could use a sequence of moves that's unbeatable). Completing the game on Normal using the intended strategies should be a cakewalk by comparison.

I mean, some special MGQ fights are also puzzle games instead of a basic RPG fight; you tough 'em out until you figure how to beat them or use the right move at the right time.
But like people already said, Luka innate skills are jokes: Edging and Flail Wildly WILL kill you.
“That isn't a technique. That’s a disgrace, and you should feel bad for still having it on your skill bar.” - Alice outright says it haha

You're disgracing the popular Slime fight (1st fight, I think that's where u use Flail Wildly).
Don't think I ever used Edging aside from Mods or MGQP tho
