Here's a newly worked on Battle animation, I'll be making some in the meanwhile that I am doing some planning because I'd have nothing to show otherwise. The plot in and of itself is already fully mapped out for chapter 2, but there are finer details like planning out EXP, money, shops and all that and stuff.
Especially side quests. I am currently working on party member side quests, and jotting them down. They're not super in depth because they're side quests.

Normally, when making a game like this, namely rpgs like this, you put sidequests as a last priority. However, the way I balance the game, how I have to take into account how much EXP and resources the player CAN have at certain parts of the game, everything needs to be fully considered or imbalance can occur.
