Nice. Exactly how I want it!

Fingers crossed that it's Alexander Brandon!

There are also some customization options, with different shields that characters can equip to gain access to different skills. And after each battle, you get all your HP back, so you don't have to worry about running back to town for a heal 'cause you're out of potions or whatever.

Sound like quite a lot of interesting design tweaks that could well help solve some of the issues I have with more standard JRPGs. I really like that you get your HP back. In most JRPGs, potions are so cheap that it was just pointless busywork to go into the menu and fix your team after each battle. The resources are usually so plentiful that there isn't any reason not to do it.
The skill system sound interesting too. Curious to see how that works out!
Funny how a couple things here seem to be a lot like in that game I'm working on in my spare time: Finite, preset battles and one-use skills that require resting to replenish.
I might get this game if it's still on sale on Steam later today when I get home.
