I'm a big fan of this series, and holy moly does EDF 6 sound disappointing. I have 6 friends playing the Japanese version, and none of them have much good to say about it. Definitely won't be a day one buy. It will likely be on sale quickly after launch as word spreads of the lazy, middling campaign, that essentially rehashes EDF 5 for extended periods, coming off as more of an EDF 5 expansion than the full priced games it is being sold as. If it weren't for the fact I have such strong social connections tied to the game, I would be more likely to skip it entirely.
