It is interesting because of various details, like having an official map of [[CityOfAdventure Tokyo-3]] meant for the wargame-style mecha-combat rules within, for having canon information hard to find elsewhere, and the fact that the sample adventure packed within the game includes a [[GodCreatedCanonForeigner canon-ish]] example of the typical "[[SailorEarth Evangelion Pilot from another NERV Branch that arrives to Japan]]" character (that precludes ''Rebuild'''s Mari Makinami) in NPC Maria Vincennes. |
