I tried out the Landstalker I got last Friday. I've never played Equinox, but by FO's description and screenshots of it, I wonder if Sega felt they were successful in ripping off Fire Emblem so they decided to rip off Equinox too (I swear this was the same team that did Shining Force. The drawing of Levant in the manual looks like a cross between Max and Hans, and some of the sound effects sound like they were recycled).

I've also been playing a bit of Fire Emblem. I got Sain promoted (Lv. 20), and he's slaughtering everything in his path. Kent is a Knight Crest use away from such status. Wil and Oswin are also approaching promotion (but I need another Knight Crest for Oswin).

I too preferred CV IV's control. Maybe it's just how long it's been since I played it, but I don't recall any real flaws; I mean, you could at least control Simon midair.


Fun Cat Fact of the Moment:

A burglar was once tracked down because he decided to make off with the family's Abyssinian cat. Had he left the incredibly rare cat, he probably would have gotten away scott free.
