This game is such an improvement from the og, the gameplay still kinda ass but it's more polished so it isn't as unenjoyable than in Normal Extra, I found the dungeon crawling more engaging specially since they play more into the story, and the story itself is so soooo good.
I didn't expect to like this game as much as I did, specially since my first contact with it was one of the moves in the last boss that looks like the most coomer shit ever, but turns out the game is much more than that and it's really great
