[played a ROM hack that fixed having to do signs and the bug with luck not affecting drop rates]
I know this game is not considered as good as Aria of Sorrow, and there's no question that the story is flat-out worse. But I like the central puzzle to getting the best ending, and the soul collecting is truly fun, and I didn't really mind it at all. Some of the weirder souls are fun to experiment with, and I had a joy replaying it recently. I also liked some of the unusual puzzles (numbered rooms in the Demon Guest House is a favourite of mine).
Yeah, the story really is nothing but a retread after Aria of Sorrow, but I enjoyed the rhythm of the combat and souls so much that it outweighed it in the end.
