May I just say that I love your art style? It's gorgeous! I've never used the battle system for 2k3, but I'll assume it's pretty bad, which makes it a good thing that you're changing it! While I'll admit I don't want to, I can wait for you to get finished with the game before I scamper off and play it. Quoting myself, it's always better to have a wonderful game that took far longer than expected to make, than be stuck with a sub-par game that took less time to make.
