I have big doubts toward Blaze Union...

[Euclase]

I played Yggdra Union and Gloria Union(I fully played this game without any sorts of translation) and both love those two games and both of them definitely sits as one of the best tactical rpg I have played. I am also aware that Blaze Union is highly praised for the story but.... I didn't play a Sting game for story. What my concern is, does Blaze Union actually had a good core gameplay design? The casts are very questionable in stats, the game seems like Vice is mandatory, the difficulty is considered to be easier from what I heard, recruiting Pamela is a hassle and Garlot is pretty useless on many situation.

I finished the game ( without any sorts of translation or japanese knowledge).
In my opinion the game is harder and more balanced, you dont have overpowered characters but you have more characters to chose, branchs with different results and the history looked more interesting than Yggdra Union, but this is what I was able to catch by reading guides. The only thing that didnt improve too much is the gameplay itself that dont have many new features, and the art style (I prefer Yggdra Union's)

I see. I might just end up playing it after I am done with my other games. I so wanted to just use Gulcasa

Blaze Union gameplay is most balance in trio-logy. Story is very good as well with 3-routes and very limit map numbers for each routes makes it shortest compare to Yggdra/Gloria.

Due to 3 route are very different from each other it make replay more enjoyable.

Leon, Baldus and Garlot bugs me

I havent played it despite regularly searching for translations, but im not aware of the gameplay being significantly different from yggdra. Think it's relatively the same with a couple small changes. Not sure how well it would sell. I feel like it would sell more units as a DLC to this game, but that would also require additional work that porting it wouldnt. Having said that it's very dependent on how japan would receive it, as Dept. Heaven is pretty obscure outside of japan.

Garlot is actually pretty awesome.
