| I know, but I just want Tempest 3000! Its just so... cool. But the original is nice, and I still play 2000 every once in a while (though for whatever reason, I recall enjoying the Saturn version more than the PSone iteration, which is all I have right now). |

Yeah, I picked it up. It's considerably harder so far in the sense that everybody seems to deal way more damage by default to everyone else, and because the unit power balance doesn't feel so heavily skewed in your favor most of the time. Excellen doesn't have 100% dodge against most of the enemies in the first half of the game, for example, and enemies in agile units (even something like fighter planes) are significantly harder to hit even when piloted by grunts.
Additionally, the script is pretty damn good, much like it was in the first game. It does a good job of skirting the line between seriousness and 4th-wall breaking goofiness. The only typo I've noticed was a missing space in one of Irm's lines when using Darkness Slash. I haven't noticed any of the accidental double uses of words at the end of sentences, which were really common in the first game (i.e. "The DC forces have broken through the the 3rd line!" or something like that). And the battle animations are really, really nice looking.
Polarium Advance also came out on Monday. It seems pretty good! And Yggdra Union, Tuesday?
Geez. |

That's just a placeholder date. It was listed as 11/14 last week, when it came, it got pushed back to 11/21. Wouldn't be surprised if come tuesday it gets pushed back to 11/28. |
