I'm personall a huge KUF fan, so I can't wait for the release of this game! If you haven't played any of the other games in the series, I highly suggest you go and get them. KUF: Heroes and KUF: The Crusaders are excellent blends of strategy and RPG elements with an interesting story and intense battles. My only worry with the next game is that it's more of an action RPG, so I'm hoping they aren't 'dumbing' it down. Strategy doesn't usually go over well on the consoles, but KUF seemed to work pretty well, with plenty of strategic depth and solid controls.
