GE2:RB is an excellent sequel to GE:R. Upon replaying it, I continue to adore this game as much as I used to but I felt some of the characters and story elements didn’t resonate with me as much as they did years ago. Despite this, it’s still a lovely game. I attribute some of the change to being older so different characters resonated with me differently being 24 now compared to 18. But I would still recommend this game to anyone. And I feel obligated to add that Ciel and Livie are the greatest.
