This is a great example of a sequel improving just about everything about the original. The already fun gameplay has been tweaked just enough to feel markedly better than the first game, the story kept me much more actively engaged, especially towards the finale, where I think the original Battle Network falters, and Navi fights are all around generally better, with higher highs than the first game ever had. Unfortunately I do think the game does have two notable low points involving KnightMan and ESPECIALLY FreezeMan. That being said this is overall a great improvement on an interesting idea for an RPG, and knowing the next game is supposed to be even better has me so excited to see what Battle Network 3 is all about!!
I bounced off this game years ago but decided to give it another go now that my taste in games has changed. I've gotta say, this game is awesome! I don't think it's perfect but there is so much soul oozing from this game and it is just damn fun. I very much look forward to trying out Solar Ash and Hyper Light Breaker!

Snappy and pretty to the point, I like it! And to talk story for a quick second, I knew going in that the likelihood of Sonon surviving this game were slim if not outright 0 but god damn I wasn't expecting the context behind his demise to be frankly terrifying. I know some people hate it but personally I think including Weiss and Nero from Dirge of Cerberus is both hilarious and something I'm glad they did! I think the FFVII compilation stuff has concepts that deserved a fair shot in actually good games and judging by the fact Nero has one of my favorite boss fights in the game as a whole, yeah I'm quite glad they gave these characters another go!
