Is it true that ST4 interacts with ST3's save file in some way? Can anyone elaborate?
From what I've been heard, ST4 will utilize save files from ST1-3. And unlike ST3, they don't even have to be the finished game saves...
As far as what they'll do with the previous games' save files, all of the details haven't been announced yet, but I'd guess it'd be something similar to ST3's...
For example, let's say if you finished ST1 or 2 with Sakura, and imported that save file to ST3. Then during certain episodes of ST3, game would show you that Oogami had paid more attention to Sakura than any other gals from Teitou (by showing pic of Sakura instead of the whole group, and talking about her more, etc...).
Nothing special, but was kinda cool, if you're a ST fanatic.

I'm late to the game, I started with ST3. My friend asked me if I wanted to borrow one of them (he was desparate to spread the word about the game) and I decided on 3. I'm hopelessly hooked now, but I can't decide if I wanna start playing ST4 next, or go backwards and play ST1 and 2. Maybe someday I'll buy the complete box, but right now buying even one game is pushing my resources. Stupid part time college job...

While you should check out Sakura Taisen 1 & 2 sometime, if your first experience with ST series was #3, you should have easier time with ST4. First 2 ST games were classics, but they're somewhat outdated now (even the DC remakes), not to mention their battle system is quite different from #3's. (it's more like a traditional turn-based strategy battle like FFT or Vandal Hearts, albeit extremely easy one...)
Personally, I love the 1st ST more than any sequels so far. It had everything. Great (Fujishima) characters & story, etc...
While ST2 was equally as good (and better in many technical aspects), its overly drawn out storyline & game pacing (ST2 is the longest game of the series so far) was a bit of problem for me. ST3 on the other hand was a bit too short... Which reminds me that I'm really worried about the overall length of ST4.
Anyhow, you really can't go wrong regardless of whichever Sakura Taisen game you decide to try next. They're all good.
