Warning: This maybe somewhat of a spoiler for some people, but i doubt it

Yggdra Union is a pretty awesome game for GBA, one of the best I must admit, heres what's good about it...

- Nice artwork and animation on the character faces and sprites
- Plently of Cards to choose from to make strategies even deeper
- Awesome character classes (what could be better than dragons and undines?)
- Strategic gameplay and an original battle system

Although I was dissapointed with the game somewhat....

- Linear gameplay, you are playing the same maps consecutively, you have to follow the story completely, I want to be able to do some optional maps where I could get a few extra exp but I have to play the "next map" all the time, maybe a random dungeon would help?
- More characters please, for the majority of the time you are playing with the same 4 or 5 characters when there are other cool classes out there to be played, it frustrates me
- Extras and secrets are somewhat mediocre I mean a couple secret characters and a few secret cards with those extra item lists etc just aren't enough to get me to keep coming back to the game

Overall I give Yggdra Union an 8/10 if it had more of the above it would definately be a 10 but still lacking of what I like, your opinions on my opinions would be nice to hear.
