I don't know whether I like the new art or not.
It looks like the new main characters are all new classes? Garlott is a Rabid Knight, Shiskia (I have no idea if I'm Romanizing that the hell right but whatev)'s unit type is Assault, and there are some new sprites too. The backgrounds for the battles are also new...
The Emperor that Garlott is fighting doesn't have red hair and gold eyes, so I'm guessing that he's not one of Brongaa's descendants? Garlott, however, does have red hair and gold eyes. (I-I'M GETTING MY HOPES UP OH GOD, I WANT THIS TO BE ABOUT THE FAILED REBELLION NOW wwwwww)
