But it's just idiotic to >release ST3 first. Just look at ST1 and ST2. If you play ST2 first and >they mention something about Ayame, you're NOT going to know what's going on >or it's just not going to be significant to you. Not to say that ST2 sucks >if you play it first, but you don't get the whole experience. Again, going to SO2, there were references that people don;t know about. And you think that EVERYONE who played ST2 had played ST1 also? And it wouldn;t be so hard to write a bit of backstory in the manual. -Joshua AOL-IM: TerraEpon ICQ: 5404138
