Lots of very eye-catching designs. The combat's just as if not more varied and complex as the first one, which will likely only improve with time. Music ranges from solid orchestration for the overworld to really, really ridiculous battle music. The voice acting is solid, but feels a bit tonally dissonant (though that may be in part due to the script). The character designs are solid but lack the idiosyncrasy of the first instalment. The writing's been largely uninteresting for the most part so far, and is most a contextual framework to establish a vehicle for gameplay, but there's certainly room for future development. Overall it's solid."}
