Okay, I need a new strategy RPG, and several people have recommended the Sakura Taisen series. I am kind of annoyed with myself that I haven't played any of that series, since I think of myself as a bigtime Sega fan. I have a couple of questions, though.
1) On NCSX there are a hell of a lot of different packages of the various DC games. The normal edition of the ST1 remake is $60, but the memorial pack is only $40. Same with ST2. Is there any reason to get the $60 ones? Or should I just skip them and buy ST3?
2) is the game entirely voice acted, or only partially? My recognition of spoken Japanese is good enough that I should be fine if it is all spoken (I got through the Japanese versions of Shenmue and Shenmue 2 with no problem), but if there is lots of text only conversations with lots of kanji I don't know, I am hosed.

At least in three, there's a good bit of spoken dialogue; in fact, it's mostly spoken, at least as far as I've played ( Just got it Monday ). You have to make choices yourself, though, and it's timed.

You should get the first games, in any edition. Sakura Taisen 3 is great, too, and with higher production values, but somehow I prefer the Japan characters (ST1-2) a little more than the ones from Paris (ST3). Maybe because of the Kosuke Fujishima designs...
