Thanks for the answers, I'll go ahead and throw my hat in. I still have a few questions, but only because I want to get a better sense of the world-building and such. Are there any tidbits of culture, unit preference, and so on that players should know about each different country on the continent, or keep in mind when creating their backstories? Will there be monster units, and if so are they magically created/summoned by enemies or are they natural inhabitants of the world? Are the Laguz the same here as they are in the Tellius series in regards to their clans, or will other shapeshifters like the Kitsune and Taguels be incorporated? Since we're not bound by game mechanics, will battles incorporate more free-form style tactics, or the same sort of open-field melee with the occasional siege/defense of a fortress?

Thanks in advance, looking forward to it!
