It's awesome so far.

Great visuals, in an artistic sense, though often I feel the landscapes look a little bare; excellent gameplay, though I do dislike the lack of any exploration (though that appears to be typical of strategy RPGs, I still thought it was good enough in Disgaea where you could walk around your castle); the voice acting is good, and I love how blu-ray means that the creators can easily include the original language track; it has tanks in an RPG; etc. etc.

The only real problem I have with it so far is that it was very annoying at one point to have nearly won a battle, but lost because Alicia got a little too close to a shocktrooper.

Still, good game so far. Buy it.

Tank is tank.

More RPGs need their protagonist to be a tank commander.

It's pretty hardcore.

However, it seems silly to me when they put so much emphasis on needing tanks everywhere when I manage to get through most battles without using the tank.

I don't use it because I always fear having it die and me losing the battle as a result. It happened once that the tank got killed in one hit from full health, so yeah.

Yeah, I recall retrying one mission about five times because stupid lancers broke through my troops and blew up the tank.

Luckily lancers are ridiculously easy to kill.

You're able to just run right up to them and put your rifle/machine gun to their head and shoot with no consequences.
