This game has some terrific voice acting from many characters.

Campaign Start
Scenario

---------------

In order to start a scenario you'll need to point it to a campaign save file
which contains characters you've used. Choosing "Campaign" will bring you to
the character select screen where you must choose five characters from the list
to use in the first battle.

We'll call this the Character Selection Screen.

Pressing O on a character will select it. Pressing O on a selected character
will give you a menu, the top choice deselects that character, the bottom
choice will keep the character selected. After picking five characters presing
start will present you with another menu the top choice of which is continue
with selected characters, the bottom choice puts you back at the list. Once you
continue you are presented with the Mission Management screen.
