Hands down the best game in the Mysterious Trilogy. Incredible improvement over the trite and dull Firis. That such a much more imaginative work came from the same studio in the literal next year after the generic JRPG landscapes of Firis is unbelievable.

Ultimately though, I prefer the art, ambience, characters and the world of the Dusk trilogy. That sense of longing, that sense of vague, uncanny wrongness despite current comforts is definitely missing. But thats not what this game is attempting to achieve - and it does achieve what it aims to.
