Fate of 43 Windows, Mac game

About:
Battle System:
This is a old style turn based RPG that is heavily reliant on using skills/abilities, using nothing but auto attacks will not get you very far in the game. There are 8 main classes (11 total), most characters can switch at will between 2-6 classes. There is no mana/mp bar, it is a replaced with a Stamina bar that replenishes while attacking and defending.

Story:
Take control of a young boy and 2 friends who get in way over their heads very quickly (with catastrophic results). There are 43 total recruitable characters, about half are from the storyline, the other half you have to find. Some characters will join you simply by talking to them, others require a prerequisite such as items, gold or a specific character in your party. The game will let you know when recruiting opens up.
I recently scraped the intro because I didn't fell as though it set the mood right, so it currently doesn't have one, it jumps right into it.

Deaths:
Not all of your characters will make it to the end of the game, some characters will die no matter what you do, others may be saved/killed based on decisions you make and/or other characters your recruit.

Current Play Time:
There is currently about 10 hours of storyline finished, I plan to do another 3-4 areas after where the game currently ends, plus some end game. The arena is not completely up and running. Currently only the main characters can do belt tests in the dojos (anyone can equip the belts, but the main characters must meet the prerequisite to do the test). I recently updated the sound/music, I apologize if it is not consistent.
