I picked this up and I have to say, the gameplay is superb.  I haven't played many strategy games, the major one that I have played (and loved) is Jeanne D'Arc on the PSP.  I was really hoping for just a console version of that.  And man, this blows it out of the water.  The shift from overhead planning and strategy, to 3rd person action and even more strategy is fantastic.  I love the fact that you don't just level up a person, you level up their entire class, so if they die in battle, you don't lose your hard earned experience.

This is a great game so far, I love the style, the cut scenes, the story, and especially how it plays.  I can't wait to get back into it tonight.

Anyone else pick this up, what are your thoughts?

I played the demo and enjoyed it a lot, I'm definitely gonna give this game a try in the next week or so. Glad you're liking it.

Played the first few missions and i love the art style and tactics of the game plus 50 characters to choose from which makes the game even more sweet.
