SO2 paradox: if you play the game right by optimizing all skills, you end up not getting to play the game bc you’re OP. It’s still so much fun, I’m glad it aged this well. Set your team’s strategy, sit back and feel like a general. Or an admiral. Admiral Ronyx.

It’s a faithful update to one of the greatest games of all time. We get fast travel, a limit break system, enemy weaknesses shown on-screen, and similar quality of life features that are familiar and complementary to the core game. And you get to fight Culex twice!

This is a massively fun and very uniquely structured JRPG. My nitpick is that most of the combat is easy, except once in a while there is a difficult battle. It’s a small gripe in the big picture though. The ensemble cast of heroes and episodic story works for playing in small bursts. That aspect of it reminds me of Valkyrie Profile. Frequently turning over characters keeps gameplay fresh since they all have different styles. The soundtrack will be stuck in your head for at least weeks after you’re finished.
