A final note on Quests:
I must say that to a certain extent the knights of the various kingdoms are foolhardy. I mean, reaching into mysterious holes that may have treasure in them, just to get stung by a viper... coming across a bottle of unknown liquid in the road and drinking it without hesitation... Eating other people's food (the vat of honey)... Eating a mushroom offered by some strange dwarf... These are the men and women with whom the Lords entrust the safety of their countries? It's no wonder the continent is wrought with war.

For the first time in forever, I have no idea what poeple are talking about.  Can someone fill me in on what Brigandine is? |

Brigandine's my favorite game ever. The story is its only weakpoint. It used to be very rare and often worth 80+ dollars on ebay, but has since dropped to selling from roughly $20-$45 (usually $30-$35) on ebay. It's a definite buy for any fan of strategies or strategy-rpgs. There are numerous reviews at gamefaqs and elsewhere, but overall, everyone should get it.
As far as gameplay, I definitely rank it over every other strategy or strategy-rpg (Fire Emblem being the closest contender).
As far as story goes, it beats the living **** out of the horrible ones like Disgaea and every game made by the Disgaea team, but does lose out to Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, Tactics Ogre: A Knight of Lodis, etc.
The other thing it completely dominates in is music. In my opinion, it has the best music of any game ever, but the music does not get used as well (as well as in building mood, strengthening emotional attachment to characters, etc.) as some other games do.
The graphics are excellent for its time - I would estimate about equal to battling graphics in Final Fantasy 7-9 and Chrono Cross.
Replay value is its other strong point. You pick to play as one of 6 nations' leaders and try to conquer the continent. Each nations' leader has his own story that the game follows. Each 'Rune Knight' has a little biography and most have one or two optional scenes or battle dialogues. Overall, it takes a whole lot of playthroughs to see and do everything. Unfortunately, this is why the story suffers.
