A massive improvement in most areas over the first game in this spin-off series, and unfortunately the peak for it too (haven't played Sky but i'm counting that as the peak also presuming its 90% similiar).
Narriative is fantastic with notably less filler trash, though it is still present here and does drag on when you're waiting for the next piece of juicy story to dig into. The peaks of this one manage to outshine even the greatest moments of Blue Rescue Team, which had a high bar to begin with, but the lows are far less offensive.
What it lacks in some areas in charm (no friend zones, not being able to change your party leader in the town, the town area not being as pretty as the firsts), it definitely makes up for in others, such as small things like every evolution having at least one dialogue portrait. Overall it's just a more polished experience and generally a must-play if you had any interest in the original in this spin-off series.
