After the massive downgrade compared to the rest of the series in Ryza, the sequel finally decided to add back things that were a stable in the series with a way better battle system than the first one.

I'm not satisfied with how they handled the writing of the old characters and I despise the inclusion of Fi. Where it basically took the spotlight of character events at times. The new characters were pretty awesome, left a way better impressions than the one in the first game.

I still have issues with the mechanics and things that bloat the game by a bit. (Researching dragging the game out) But overall I enjoyed the game.
