The Steam re-re-release of the game includes a few more small updates. Characters can be ordered in a formation queue on the battle preparations screen, and then the order of these characters can be used to automatically place units on the map at the start of a battle. Kadokawa states that this new formation function will also be offered as a patch to the previous versions of the game. The PC version will also include keyboard and mouse support.
