The skills look a little jumbled, yes; you equip eight active skills in any order and I never bothered to sort them out to look pretty. Maybe I'll update this screenshot closer to release to reflect a more organized setup, or make the game auto-sort them.

Thoughts on auto-sorting, people? Would you rather organize your skill window your way, or have them be automatically clumped together by type? Maybe I'll just make it an option in the menu.

Personally I always like to organize my skills my own way, but that sounds like a hellish bit of code. More than anything, I hate having the ones I keep using at the bottom, and the ones I rarely use at the top. In some RPGs that means the more powerful ones which become my bread and butter take scrolling to reach. But most games don't let you, so I'm usually happy enough if all the fire spells are together. If you only have 8 to worry about at a time because you equip them, that fits nicely on that screen; I wouldn't whine about having to scroll from upper left to lower right with what you have. In fact I'd actually expect to just take that responsibility on me, and equip them in the order I wanted to present them in.

Well, some good news for you: you can now switch between your own order and autosort in the System menu. Hooray, hoorah! Take the responsibility for your own design, or take the plunge of clustered skill types. It's up to you.

In Praise of Peace: Have it your way.
