The game looks interesting. Can you please specify, unless it's supposed to be a secret or surprise, what exactly you mean by "changes gears"? In particular: Will the battle system remain turn-based throughout the game? Since I only like turn-based battles, it would be my greatest fear to play the first hours just to discover that I suddenly had to drop the game. Thanks in advance.
It's intended to be a surprise, but to add a level of comfort - the game will continue to be fully turn based. Without giving away too much, some changes include access to new maps, a full shift in the game music, and an overall shift in the tone of the game.
Also, thanks for your patience on the reply - still getting used to the messaging system on this system and didn't catch I had a message! Guess I'll learn as I go~
