I wasn't too sure how well it would convert to 3D either, but other than the odd misplacement, I haven't had any trouble with it. Some of the criticals look pretty cool too, though I think some of them look better on the GBA. They seem smoother and more fancy on the GBA.

I didn't think so. I mean, sure the odd character is hard to get (I looked up how to get some characters such as Devdan. Never use him, just for completeness' sake) as far as matching up characters go, but some are plain obvious (Jill to get Haar, Rolf for Shinnon, etc). The characters seek out your characters too, which makes things easier than the GBA games (no idea how frustrating it was for Guy to critical Matthew when I was going to recruit him next turn).

I've not finished it as of yet; I'm up to Chapter 25, I think, so I'm nearly there. Was close to finishing and then Volke died, and I refuse to go on to the next chapter if someone dies, whether I use them or not; the latter in this case.

It's a very fun game overall, I like how there's not as many characters left in the background, as was the case with the GBA games. I do miss my Valkyries though.
