All I got to say is the game is filled with awesome and win I can not recommend this game enough except to those that dislike sprite graphics. While it does sport dated Graphics(which I don’t really mind I prefer sprites in alot of games particularly if they are well done.) It has an awesome combat system that focuses on tactics and placement rather then button mashing and things of that nature. It is a strategy rpg which is one of my favorite kinds, but what makes the game Awesome is the story and Gig is by far my favorite video game character of the past collective year to January of 2007 not till like the first of January 2008. Anyway not much I can really say about the game without giving too much away, if you have played Ogre battle” march of the dark queen or whatever it was titled or Ogre battle 64 the battle system is similar to that but movement is turn based instead of real time, one of the two problems I found with the game the other would be like pretty much all NIS RPGs before it, you can go through the game the right way and use tactics brains and planning or you can just go easy mode on it and make one super powered squad and pretty much annhilate the whole game, extra training of the group isn’t even necessary. Other than that Game is good units are well balanced (till you beat the game anyway and unlock the pretty much unbeatable unit) I give it a 9.0 out of 10 which means if I ever did break my copy for whatever reason I would go out to buy another you will rarely ever see me rate anything of 8.5
