Yin was working on our skill upgrade system when we got into an interesting conversation about it.

Q:If you have skill-trees, will you allow respeccing? Will you be able to learn everything eventually?
A:Yeah, we will definitely have respeccing, but it will have a minor inconvenience for doing so. We were looking at the idea of it costing a few unives. Having a minor inconvenience makes it a bit more legit. It is not worth having a tree if you can always change your build any time on the fly. You could be able to learn everything, but also add to certain attributes like attack and defense. Also you could add points to skills to make them stronger. So in theory you can in fact learn every skill but you could also build a character to be stronger in a particular tree or skill to make him or her more effective in that field. We know players like control and want to give them some say and how the characters progress. This also has to do with the characters being skill based rather than having grinding become broken and OP. For Jagen he has a combo tree in which he can chain into more hits to perform that particular skill. In that tree if the timing is not right that particular combo could end and the move has a chance of not being able to perform. This particular aspect of the battle system may not be in the upcoming demo but it is something that we have documented. We have also discussed having the characters all play in an individual way giving them all varied play styles. In this way magic users feel like magic users and melee feel like melee users. Same with speed and strength. This is not set in stone but right now we are going to showcase the basics.
