EOV was a big improvement in a lot of ways, especially after EOIV which, weirdly enough, felt like a huge step down after EOIII. Unfortunately, I'm still kind of iffy on EOV. I think it's a good EO but it's not really my favorite, it felt easy even though I played on a higher difficulty and I didn't really get attached to my guys, I didn't have any strong opinions about the music, etc.
