Yes you can do what you want. You can skip grinding completely if you want, and probably in Easy difficulty you'll still be able to beat it.
I am aiming to balance the game so that in Normal difficuly you can just do the plot battles and still win it (not easily). Then it's up to everyone how much grinding they want to do (especially at higher difficulty levels).

As said already the game has a specific number of days, but differently from SOTW you won't feel so rushed.

Nice, as long as we can endlessly grind like in Loren w/ the Truth Temple or the Orcish Wastes!

...Or not...!
Jack, why do you insist on dashing people hopes of pure grindin???

The HP/SP doesn't regenerate even in the normal missions (only team members in reserve) but the real limit will be 3 fights/day. There are 100 in-game days, so you can do 300 extra grinding battles. I think it should be enough!!!

going against those giant war bears only in 2 might not be the smartest idea
In practice each day you have 3 battles you can do - doesn't matter if you win or lose. Though of course if you lose you get no XP. You can play safe and fight some goblins, or try for harder enemies. Also depends how many enemy you choose to fight (from 1 to 5).
Though I know people will be save-scumming anyway

Does this part take place in Dingirra?

Reminds me of that, w/ animals fighting as well.

No, I just used the same arena background - I should get another one, if I have time/money

added the Amazons Citadel location, with its own arena. I think will have 3-4 different places with an arena where you can train and each one will have slightly different enemies

added more tutorial/help screens in the map


and while looking for potential new team members near Grandtree, you stumble into this giant beast sleeping. What do you do?
1. kick the giant beast in the nuts
2. run away screaming "FEAR"

Well this does bring up a q., Jack: Any chance we'll be able to recruit/adopt wild creatures as allies?

In LTAP we were able to adopt Trouble, so maybe something like that here?

No there's no more space in the character screen maybe in a future game though since I like the idea.
