What if we took Path of Radiance and cranked everything up to 11. Being a direct sequel, it is extremely cool being able to play as the old Greil Mercenaries again, with them even having endgame (for PoR) classes and stats, and even cooler to go even further beyond with this games 3 tiered class progression. On top of the Mercenaries, you have many other factions you play as, some friendly, some antagonistic such as Queen Elincia and her royal knights, Laguz factions, and the infamously terrible Dawn Brigade. While the story does fall apart a little towards the end with some silly plot contrivances it is still very rewarding seeing factions fight and eventually join up, and answer many unanswered questions from the first game such as the identity of that no good Black Knight.
