Battle Network 2 simply resumed their saga with minor QoL upgrades and zero inspiration. Like before, the two pillars of the series (combat and customization) are flanked by an incredible amount of padding, while gameplay additions such as items, persistent damage, classes and joker-type chips amounted to very little. Their dungeons frequently recycle old techniques from JRPG history, and - once again, the most creative examples are also the most frustrating.
