Yasumi Matsuno, best known as the director of Vagrant Story and Final Fantasy Tactics, has partnered with mobile developer Playdek to launch a Kickstarter campaign for a new tactical RPG entitled Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians.
Set in the fantasy world of Rasfalia, Unsung Story will cover the full breadth of a 77 year war told from various viewpoints in flashback . Each character will star in an episode consisting of several stages. Some of these episodes will cover a year of someone's life, while others will span over the course of more than a decade. Often you'll be fighting against forces you were previously tasked with protecting as another character.
Combat will be turn-based on a 3D map with a fully controllable camera, and units will be sorted by profession with different class types within each profession.

It shouldn't be hard to guess which is which.
