Yes. Imagine how much you would like RoA!!!

It is not real-time but turn-based, just like the Lost World. And it has a
seperate battle-screen. Because of the animations the battle graphics are
not as huge as in the Lost World (and PA3).

The musics are the same as in the Lost World, and those musics were (mostly)
the same as in Pumpkin Adventure III (which did also have MoonSound music,
by the way. The others haven't -yet-. They need a composer... volunteers???
Anybody???). And if I remember correctly some musics from PA3 also appeared
in PA2...
The music itself is quite nice, but I already heard the same music in three
different games...

No no no... About the 'everytime you play it it will be different';
depending on the choices you make in the game you get other subquests. And
about the expanding, it is a 'multi-volume' game. The first part is there
now, but the game hasn't ended yet. There will be more parts (they promised
they would be bigger in size), and once you've got a new part you can
proceed where you left in the previous part.

No. But you can make a textfile with very detailed descriptions and send it
to the makers. They will then put it in the game. Provided it isn't too bad
ofcourse.

Pfff... never heard of it.
