you know i'm glad i played the series backwards cause the voice of the preacher would've been a total giveaway in enigmatis 2.

a short, mysterious and engaging puzzle box game. as someone who sucks at puzzles, i surprisingly enjoyed this! excited to play the other installments to know more about the story.

legend of legaia had a better plot, more heart and better atmosphere. legaia 2 has nothing to do with the 1st and has a significantly less compelling story. the "origins" are not as interesting as the "ra-seru" and not being able to capture any monsters is a huge downgrade. this game is very plain in many aspects. even yasunori mitsuda's musical score couldn't give it that extra oomph. despite all that, it still has a special place in my heart.
