Charming art style, pretty good story, good music, fine turn-based combat system. The game, however, lacks some QoL features which brings it down.
Unlike the first game, the lore book isn't there which makes it harder to track quests and refresh your memory about parts of the story.
Automatic comparison of equipment isn't there.
It also felt like there were more cutscenes and dialogue than gameplay. Around a 65/35 % distribution. I didn't mind it, but bear that in mind before playing.
You also begin at a pretty high level, so the need to grind is minimal.
The only time I had to grind was before the final boss battle.
The game took me a little over 9 hours to beat.
Overall, It's pretty close to a great game, but a lack of QoL features bring it down.
