Everything after Jade is gonna be something that I've either had a hand in or at least heard the dirty laundry about. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I liked it, but mileage is gonna vary for everyone. People who wanted a hardcore fighting game were disappointed when the combat wasn't very difficult by action standards, and people who wanted a deep tactical RPG combat system were disappointed when the tactical aspect was traded for action. It was a deliberate choice made to keep the game simple enough for traditional RPG people, but there were strong arguments on both sides.It worked for me -- I play a lot of RPGs, but not as many action games, so the difficulty was just right for me.I don't know the exact sales numbers offhand, but if I'm remembering right, it was (is) around a million. Not a smash hit, but very strong for a) a new IP that was b) coming out on a soon-to-be-retired console.</blockquote>
