I finished chapter 10, and I kind of didn't like how they went from all the poor Darcsens being exterminated, with a liitle girl being reduced to ash, to happy go lucky time in the next scene. It's the same thing Skies did and it annoyed me then too. Come on, if you're going to throw shock stuff like that in, allow it to have some gravitas, don't cheapen it by having the characters go back to lighthearted innocents completely unaffected by what they've just seen 5 minutes later.
Other than that, awesome mission though. My squad was in rough shape by the time I got to the end after getting chopped up with gatling fire from the train, but I made it. Thank goodness Vyse is borderline invincible.

yeah, that's been my big gripe with the game too much generic anime like writing. I mean come on? A fucking Beach episode? What is this? Love Hina? SHIT@$@#@

For the first time ever a Lancer hit my radiator.
Whoops. (On Ch 7 btw)

I can't really think of a good reason that the back of those tanks is so open.
There's all kinds of DLC up for the Japanese version, check out the trailer for the EX hard mode:
That looks absurd, but I'm kind of ready for a bit more of a challenge. I clear most maps on normal without even using 2 or 3 of my guys.
A scout, a shocktrooper and an engineer to back up your tank are often enough for a whole map if you're smart about it. Though do I get a lot of use out of my lancers (is there anything more fun in this game than completely outflanking a tank with one of those guys?) and once you start getting more accurate rifles for your sniper, you can clear out a good portion of the map in the first 2-3 turns.

if they make it ex harder, I hope they remove the level cap. And add some new abilities for troops.
