Bro, this game is truly something special. If inflation didn't fucked up the worth of my money, I would honestly give you at least five dollars. My only gripe would be the amount of content that could've been taken off without much problem, like the world map and the tactics battle mode. They are very time consuming, and you're by turn 150 by the time you realize it has little to do with the rest of the game. Perhaps it will be of better use when the game is finished.
By the way, how on earth do you plan on doing a time skip? There's like fifty ladies pregnant in my save file lol
