The DioField Chronicle features a deep and strategic "Real-Time Tactical Battle" (RTTB) system, where players and enemy troops move in real-time, and the tide of battle can change in an instant. The game is set in a unique world which features a gritty and immersive storyline that combines fantasy, medieval and modern elements.

The DioField Chronicle is crafted by a skilled and experienced development team, which features unique character designs by Taiki (Lord of Vermilion III, IV), concept art by Isamu Kamikokuryo (FINAL FANTASY XII, FINAL FANTASY XIII) and beautifully orchestrated music by world-renowned composers Ramin Djawadi and Brandon Campbell, known best for their work on Game of Thrones.

I want this game so bad. Looks epic
 
Lot's of flash and pzazz, but is there any substance?

Don't underestimate the combat has influence from FFXII, one of the greatest combat systems in a JRPG ever imo. This takes it a step further into tactics, I am really excited to see how it plays out. I am waiting for a half price sale though. Life is getting too expensive, got to play it safe these days.
 
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Not interested in another rehash of Final Fantasy Tactics...

initial steam reviews are mixed :( I'm sad to see that. I was expecting a unique combat system, FFXII is still my all time favorite final fantasy... so I was really hopeful that ingeuinty would be here. I still plan to try it some day when it crashes in price in 6 months.
 
This looks... like a mobile game or something.

Everything is so big and simple. Staying far away
 
Another multiplayer where you have to pay to go offline.
 
Reading reviews on Steam, I probably am going to pass on this after all. Damn, I had high hopes for it.
 
yea you pay, in some form or another, you miss out on things.
Like if you don't buy the game you won't play it? Apparently for full price you even get Denuvo for free!
 
Thinking I'm missing some context..
IDK if you know about RUST ( or similar ), in it, if you go offline, your base is more at risk than if you stayed online. If what I'm reading about this game is similar, yea youre gonna pay something for going offline. There was one game, cant remember which one, but the PVP server operator "sold" base protection while you were offline, a monthly fee IIRC. It wasnt against the rules either.
