The ability to manually save during the preparation screen before the mission start would be nice

As shared in the 11/9 patch notes (https://oceandrive.studio/2022/11/09/lost-eidolons-patch-notes-11-9-2022/), the next patch will bring the the option of going back to battle preparation phase upon restarting a battle. Our assessment is that the need for saving during preparation phase arises because there is currently no way to get back to battle preparation unless you have a save file in the previous camp (and still have to skip through cutscenes).

In case our assessment may be misguided, we will re-assess the need for this suggestion specifically (saving during preparation) after we implement the restart improvements.

Now that we implemented the battle restart options, we are changing this to "Need More Information" to gauge the interest in this, as we mentioned before.

We appreciate your suggestion on having the option to manually save during the battle prep screen. We considered adding this as many of you suggested this feature, but we concluded it would be too risky to add to Lost Eidolons as this also impacts important parts of the game, mainly with the save/load side of things. We understand our Tacticians find being able to save prior to battle as a quality-of-life feature, and will consider this for our future projects.
