Yes, there is a training area. Here you can use up the experience points you gain from battle (or don't if you perform badly). Here you can rank up your troops by category, so, you can say use all your experience points to rank up your snipers several levels, or you can spread the points more evenly across all groups, or whatever you like really.

You can also upgrade weapons and the tank in a separate R&D area. Doing this costs money, not experience points. You can upgrade weapons, clothing (defense), parts for the tank etc.

You can also use your points / cash to buy extra commands for Wilkin (sp) who is the main character and the tank commander. These are kind of like special moves that you can use on your troops in one off situations.

Also, you can buy news/gossip from the journalist chick. Doing this unlocks sub-chapters in the game. These aren't essential to the main story.

There are also museum/weapons encyclopedia/people encyclopedia sections where you can do a (ton of) reading up on the characters, weapons, and locations/themes etc in the game. You also get to play with the awesome 3D models in the weapon and people sections.

 Wow, with all this stuff I´m anticipating the game even more.

@ hanafuda

No big deal. You've been a huge help in explaining this thread.

Launch in November, eh? I was hoping for August, but I'll take it when I can get it. It looks awesome.

Between Resistance 2 and this, this comes first, though I hope to get both day 1. :)

Yea, I was a little dissapointed in the date but at least we have something more concrete.

 

P.S. How far are you now in Rogue Galaxy makingmusic?

I got Pokemon Diamond at the beginning of the week, and have been addicted ever since.

Looks like Im gonna win our bet. Im on Chapter 11.

And come on, Pokemon? I borrowed a friend's Pearl. I thought it sucked after playing Red for hundreds of hours.
