I'd hope it'd get published considering he's head honcho at RPGFan.
That said, great review Rudo. That's probably about where I'd put it. It has it's flaws, but it's Lunar, and the story is still so good, even on a handheld that it brings the score up for me dispite any flaws. In all honestly, the only three complaints I even have about the game are the load times (and honestly, I don't play many games these days, those load times might be the norm for a PSP game for all I know), difficulty (this is a trend in modern games in general it seems though) and the world map being shrunk down (which I think everyone who's played TSS will agree). Outside of that, I'm estatic that some of the Lunar staples are back. Our beloved battle system is back after the garbage DS system and while Legend was a good solid handheld RPG title at the time, the battle system still didn't match up to the classic Lunar system. And I like XSEED's translation and localization work. This is coming from an old die-hard Working Designs fan too.
But yeah, great review Rudo!
Edit - BTW, I forgot to mention, I like how you separated the review out for veterans and new-comers.
