So, in your opinion, she will be a munchkin eternally. Well, personally,
that would make me dislike Iris a little. I mean, yeah, she's a cute kid in
the first two games, but she can't stay that way forever. She should mature
in a realistic way, and her character should change accordingly (though she
should still be the sweet, short-tempered girl we've all come to know
and...uh, some of us love:P).

Well, she did talk about how she was growing up...and stuff...Yeah, her
character didn't change that much from ST to ST2, but neither did Sakura's
or Kohran's. The change was more noticeable in Maria (happier and more
relaxed), Sumire (more open and less b*tchy) and Kanna (who's finally
realized why she trains to be strong...to protect her 'family').

I'm thinking of playing through with Orihime, but I want to finish with
Sumire first. So far, I've finished the game with Kanna, Kohran, Sakura,
and Leni. I haven't had time to give it a fifth playthrough, but now that I
got an ST wall scroll, Teigeki Graph, and my 1/5 scale Kanna figure, I think
I'm getting into the ST-playin' mood again.:)

>Kanna,
I love her ST2 ending, which shows off her romantic side (and just how much
of a dumbass Oogami really is :P), and she appears very often throughout the
episodes if you look for her where she usually hangs out (dining room and
training room, naturally ^_-). Then again, I paid $78 for a Kanna Kirishima
1/5 scale model, so anything featuring Kanna in even the smallest possible
way is cool by me.:)

I love Lunar 2. Are you playing the Saturn version or the Sega CD version?
I've only played through the Sega CD version. I hope WD brings out the PSX
version that's supposedly coming up, otherwise, it might not be worth it for
me to buy it (I'm not the big seiyuu freak that you are in this case, since
I was weaned on English Lunar).;)

>So a pic would be nice. Iris' mom, huh? Didn't she have a cameo in
>Sakura Taisen's Iris ending? I don't remember though.
Cameo is putting it mildly. She might appear for a split second. Obviously
not long enough to be able to tell what she looks like. I wanna see a
pic!:)
