    Not a bad video. I assume the monotone voice is a deliberate choice, but there are definitely some points where you sound a little stilted, like the odd gap mid sentence at 0:55. I'd recommend speaking in a regular cadence. I enjoyed the content though, you hit a bunch of relevant points on the game in a short time frame. Nice work.

    I love turn based RPGs! My favorite battle system of all time is Grandia's. I don't understand how so few games after it came out expanded on its combat. I can only think of one other game that tried it. My dream system is to take Grandia's wholesale, and then add in Earthbound's rolling health system. I think the combo of those would make very frantic and fun combat :)
