the article describes how useful support characters are in this game... characters might randomly jump in between turns and heal an ally, etc.
overall, the article is very positive about the game.

I have a positive feeling about this game.

I just know that I'll love it.

Hope it's OK for me to add this to the news thread, alongside the new spoiler-ridden vids on IGN. =)

I'm just glad that IGN is liking it, but we've got to see it for ourselves.

hmm.. such a cute art. hah! I like the way it turned out. I just sort of miss the way the portraits were (gs1 and gs2). hehe Good image with those Riflemen. They look dangerous. reminds me of the Howling Wolf Guild.
