Add randomized character stats to new game option
A random one (no pun intended) but it would be cool to have stats completely randomized as a new game option. Of course this would likely only be used for people familiar with the game, and would come with its own innate unbalancing, but I think something like this could add to the longevity of the game for people that want to attempt randomized runs.

ODS OrbitAnother suggestion from Steam forums (ChickenC3) mentioning that it does not necessarily need to be in the New Game+ option but can be a setting a player sets before starting a game. Similar to how we add Permadeath and Turn Limit toggle on a fresh new game.

ODS GeeK AdminWe appreciate this idea for a new, challenging mode for our most seasoned Tacticians.
Randomized stat increase is indeed one of the many options we considered during game design. However, implementing the idea created a balance concern, as also mentioned in this suggestion. While we understand that it could be considered part of a new challenge, under certain circumstances (e.g., on Hard Difficulty with Maniac Mode turned on), it could negatively impact the gameplay experience due to the heavily chance-based elements outside of the Tactician's strategic control.
We eventually decided to carefully craft an experience so that both seasoned and new Tacticians can enjoy without having to potentially "burn" their save files or progress. While this is not something we plan to add for Lost Eidolons, we will continue to explore various ways of bringing new challenges as we work on future projects.
