^To be fair, I've been skeptical of the series for a long time. It's because of Radiance, Project Bokuho, Punishere, and a few others that I'm growing to like the series for something other than the music. Zafina also played a big role too.
Zafina should be worth the wait seeing in action if the graphics continue to improve with each build. Can't really speak on the gameplay though, but that power crush mechanic is quite the inspired mechanic.
