>>I enjoyed the extensive anime FMV in ST2. My bone with ST2 is its TOO
extensive utilization of corny CGs in the game. For example, in ST, when
Yoneda boarded Mikase, we were treated to this cool animated sequence of
the whole thing. But in ST2, what we got was this CG sequence of Mikase
being put together section by section (which vaguely reminded me of the
special effects in all the aweful live-action Japanese flicks I seen).<<
No way!! That was one of the best sequences in the entire game, and makes a
WHOLE lot more sense than the way the Mikasa came together in the first game- a
whole lot of transformational shifting took place in the first game, but the
main theater was totally intact despite that. This version also is wonderful
because later in the game where Oogami is visiting everyone prior to the
boarding of Musashi, we see how the Daitekokugekijou is flipped up, down, and
around to accomodate that area of the Mikasa II. I had a much greater sense of
of BIG the Mikasa is in ST2 than I did in the first game. And because it's so
compact (vertical as opposed to horizontal), Mikasa II required less disruption
of the lives of those people living in its vicinity <g>.
