You know, Nippon Ichi did gridless TBS. And I'm guessing they're not the only ones. Still, looks good. With some more advanced units and modes this could be quite fun.

Love the look of the game but don't think I'd get far past the tutorial.

I wish these guys all the luck in the world, as this game looks awesome so far. I certainly would like a version on PSN sooner or later after it is released. Also, I hope the AI is tough and fair, as I usually don't do multiplayer and would love to be able to get a lot of time on this without having to go online (and since I know almost no one that plays video games regularly, I certainly can't do split-screen).

Looks great, especially considering how early they are in the dev-cycle.  I'm very interested in seeing the finished product, and I'd like to think the GiantBomb crew would do another Quick Look then to serve as somewhat of a compare and contrast to what was done in the several months they worked on it.

Looks awesome. Really looking forward to this now: love the art-style and the simplified turn-based-strategy controls.

I can't wait to see more of this, especially if there's a chance of a PC version.

I'm half-Swedish, so it was pretty fun to hear them slaughter "Julmust". The Christmas elf Father Christmas analogue guy is called Tomte, although I think that also refers to a type of elf folk in general. My mum has a few posters of a whole load of tomten preparing for Christmas. Like a giant family of Father Christmases. 
 
Anyway, the game looks good.

How did they get Professor Frink to help with this game!? Seems like he's calmed down a bit too with the nervous ticks.

Yeah, I remember one of the Arc the Lad games on the PS2 had that radial movement pattern as well. Not exactly that big a deal, if you ask me, since I never found anything wrong with the conventional square grid format in the first place.  
 
I think Valkyria Chronicle's design was the most ground-breaking innovation this genre has seen in awhile.

why are the range circles aligned to the screen rather than the ground? Doesn't make any sense.

This looks like it's going to be an awesome game, can't wait.
Hopefully it will come to PC, since that's where my strategy gaming happens (apart from DS obviously).

The fact that they used Shining Force to describe the style of game they made automatically makes them awesome in my book.
 
Looks pretty good. Too bad it's not coming to the PS3 at the moment, otherwise I'd definitely get it.

A taste taste during a quick look? I believe that's unprecedented.  Also, a magical fox who heals? That sounds familiar. 
 
Good QL. I don't really like these types of games but the demo the guys gave at least got me a little interested in it.
