DIY characters in Tales of Innocence

Tales of Innocence just got a little more interesting. New screens on Famitsu reveal that Tales has a feature found commonly in western RPGs, but rarely in Japanese RPGs: character creation. In addition to designing a character's appearance, you can also mess with their AI rules for combat-- Tales of Innocence automates helper character actions, meaning that your input in combat comes from the rules you set for the characters (and the movements you make as the playable lead character).

You can also assign different weapons with elemental and status effects to these new characters. You'll have to go find the materials to make these weapons, of course.
