Spent a while considering the rating for this one, it’s an incredible game that I sadly had issues with. There’s a strange issue when it comes to dialogue. Due to the freedom you get in terms of how many reserve party members you can get, a lot of them do not get dialogue in sections they should, and it’s really off putting. The first 4 chapters are incredibly formulaic, and chapter 8 as a whole just pissed me off.

Having said that, while those are definite issues for me, I loved this game to bits, it starts off right where FC left off, and bit by bit as the chapters go on, you start to piece just exactly what is going on. Plenty of big moments, fun encounters and great music on display here.

It’s one of the best RPG’s I’ve ever played, Falcom were so close to greatness with this one. Can’t wait to play 3rd.

P.S. - Dragon Dive
