I said it in my last post, but I have to say it again. Shining Force. My gosh, I had such a nostalgia trip with this series today. Was messing around on YouTube (I listen to music in the back room while I'm working, when I can), and for some reason Mishaela's theme popped into my head. I found it, took a listen, and since then I've been going crazy with the emotions and memories the music from those games stir up, along with the screenshots and videos attached.

It doesn't exactly hurt that I've been playing XCOM lately, either. In terms of battle systems, the two are nearly identical, though with different focuses for your troops. Adapting the engine would be easy. Man, I want a new SF game.
