Perhaps unfair, but having played Aria of Sorrow first, its hard for me not to compare the two. Having better weapon variety, enemy variety (+ the bestiary!), and boss fights - Aria quickly became a top favorite game for me, and essentially feels like a straight upgrade to Symphony.

Symphony's boss fights are the weakest in the series Ive played so far imo, with most of them feeling like regular enemies with an extra attack, which rarely posed a challenge.

Symphony's exploration is still great, but it honestly just put me back in the mood for Aria! Im sorry to say.
