Record of Agarest War

The plot is told in five chapters which all have different player characters (who are the son of the previous character).

During the first four generations, the player deals with different women and the choices in cutscenes and dialogues determine how much affection they feel for the hero.

At the end of the chapter, he mates with the woman with the strongest bond (or gets to choose if he has a positive relationship to more than one) and this has a direct influence on the appearance and statistics of their son.

Additionally, there are many other choices to make (mostly either tactical or moral) which have an effect on the story (sometimes cross-generational) and the player's morality, influencing which non-player characters join the party.

Combat is turn-based and takes place on flat, rectangle-based fields.

In each round (which is divided into movement and action), the player gives orders to the party (up to six members) and every action costs action points.

The most important tactical aspect is positioning: some fields give either positive or negative effects and each character has a sphere of influence, either near them (melee fighters) or farther away (ranged fighters and magicians), depending on their jobs, which also depends the direction the characters are facing.

Characters which are connected over those spheres gain substantial bonuses and can perform combo attacks.

Except the boss battles, fights are mostly resolved within a few rounds, as unused action points carry over to the next turn and the characters' "Break State", an especially powerful attack, unlocks after enough time has passed.
