Yeah, I think I like the enemy characters way more. Jaeger and Selveria > Welkin and Alicia. Rosie and Largo are meh. Faldio and Varrot are cool, though. I really hate how the game treats war like it's child's play, though. The cutscenes in particular - someone next to them gets shot, and instead of taking cover, they just sit there. Right. Or Welkin running toward that gigantic tank... *facepalm*
I agree it kinda sucks Selvaria kinda got owned by Alicia (why was she more powerful?). I didn't really like the cutscene, either... maybe it's due to the game budget, I dunno. I just don't like the way the "power levels" are displayed here. I found the calm Alicia fighting Selvaria with no effort thing kinda lame.
By the way, the flamethrower you get from Rosie's mission (I think?) is nuts. Love being able to 1-shot clusters of crouched enemies!
