Thanks for the warm welcome, Strunk. Well, i've only played SD as of now (haven't gotten around to downloading Virtualboy yet, so FEs 1-8 might be my end of semester graduation gift to myself.), but I can tell you it's a lot of fun. I don't really go for turn count as much as I do decent level ups for my entire team. I'll usually spend whatever amount of time I can in the arena, not only for the massive amounts of cash I stockpile for my convoy later on, but it just might be because i'm a bit greedy. Nah, i'm joking. i don't want my units getting slaughtered in later chapters.
I'd hate to admit it, but i actually haven't completed SD the first time I played. now that this is my second run, and I really know what I'm doing, I wanna complete it with flying colors.
