A new tactical RPG from Square Enix is on the way, under a brand-new moniker too.\u00a0The DioField Chronicle\u00a0<\/em>is a new kind of strategy role-playing game, using real-time systems.<\/p> Shown at today’s State of Play,\u00a0The DioField Chronicle\u00a0<\/em>definitely has some\u00a0Final Fantasy Tactics\u00a0<\/em>vibes at first. It’s set in a fantasy world, in the midst of a clash between armies and nations. Soldiers in armor stand around a table, discussing battles.<\/p> Where\u00a0The DioField Chronicle\u00a0<\/em>differs looks to be its combat. There’s a real-time approach, rather than the turn-based you’d expect. Square Enix is describing this as the Real-Time Tactical Battle system, or RTTB.<\/p> <\/iframe><\/p> So while it’s got a bit of classic\u00a0FFT\u00a0<\/em>in there, it also feels a little akin to an RTS too. The cut-ins, with stylized portraits and zooms, also bring to mind\u00a0Fire Emblem: Three Houses<\/em><\/a>. And the maps look to be “boards,” again similar to\u00a0FFT\u00a0<\/em>or more recently,\u00a0Triangle Strategy<\/em><\/a>.<\/p> I’m pretty interested in this new direction, because it seems pretty novel and different than what you’d usually expect from a tactics game. The tactical RPG genre is having a big year in 2022, with\u00a0Triangle Strategy\u00a0<\/em>just out and games like\u00a0Front Mission\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Midnight Suns\u00a0<\/em>on the horizon. But something a little fresh and interesting seems intriguing, too.<\/p>
