I am so ready for this game, man. I may not be able to play it right away because I've fallen between jobs, but Golly, I'm liking what they've decided to keep the same (besides maybe 60 Avo. on tombstones) and what they've changed. the art direction is great (even if it is weird that they gave Silque a gigantic rear end for no reason) and now that I know they've better fleshed out the dungeon stuff and put in Thracia's fatigue system, I'm seriously ready to enjoy what may be the west's first TRUE taste of some classic, pre GBA Fire Emblem!
Also, Gaiden is the fire emblem with the best soundtrack, hands down.
