Oh interesting! Yes, I remember WotL added some scenes that I seem to remember fit in pretty well. Funny to gain new dialogue in old scenes, but lose those newer ones.

This is really interesting, as it's not something I've heard anyone talk about yet (I haven't played the new release myself). Original Tactics has very sharply written and efficient scenes, so it's definitely a surprising change!

Is it new dialogue in old scenes, or just new scenes?

One of the bosses players will be introduced to in Infinite Alliance! Its origins are otherworldly, but it relentlessly seeks other worlds to invade!

The Fateshifter from Ephemeral Tale returns in Infinite Alliance, ready to continue a reign of terror in a new world. This boss will require skill and a little "faith" to beat... #Pixelart #InfiniteAlliance #GameDev #IndieGame

Montam from Venaitura joins the fray of bosses in Infinite Alliance, but don't be fooled by the fact he's only a child...This kid not only has magic, but also rules over a land of strong monsters, only to be trained to do his bidding... #Pixelart #InfiniteAlliance #GameDev #IndieGame
