Good sequel to a good game. Better soundtrack than last time around, and it was just begging to be broken by the end - lots of fun when I came up with some items that just nuked miniboss encounters in one go!

Story's a bit more trad Atelier for the most part; less about saving the world as much as being with the characters. Only one ending but everyone's stories conclude within the game, and I liked the main ending.

PS5 native version's a mixed bag. Good resolution, basically instant loading, but the framerate is pretty shaky.
