From what I understand, the American and European branches of Nintendo both translate the Advance Wars games directly from Japanese separately, so you end up getting two different interpretations. It would be pretty interesting to compare the two.
Also, Jet... takes some getting used to. Actually, you'll probably never "like" him, he's just kind of a running gag of "meeh I hate everyone I HAVE NO MEMORIES WAAH", so if you take him like that he can be amusing. I renamed him "Jetty", this helps me cope. He also ends up getting a tool called "RADICAL SNEAKERS" which is awesome in an early-90s kind of a way. I pretend they're the kind that light up when you walk.
When I first started playing Wild Arms games the music was like "what the fuck old west whistling what the fuck" to me, but it's actually grown on me quite a bit. Michiko Naruke is now one of my favorite composers. That damned whistling ends up getting stuck in your head after a while, believe me.
If you feel like trying to pick the game up again, at least over here it's absurdly cheap - like 8 bucks or so.
