Admittedly I only finished one route, want to go back and do the other eventually, but this is a great, if not slightly inferior follow-up to one of my favorite PS2 RPGs. Mostly everything is better, so why don't I like this one as much? The characters. They don't have as much charm, and everyone's just mean to each other constantly. If you want a cast that do not act like most JRPG characters, try this one. But if you haven't played the first, that's a better introduction to the series, in my opinion.
