Once we had a colorful, vivid and lighthearted game with insanely fun combat and a ♥♥♥♥-ton of really bad game/UI design decisions, then we got this - uninspired, dull, bleak game with the armor based slog of a combat, that drags forever in it's state of total fun-excision, with a ♥♥♥♥-ton of the same really bad game/UI design decisions, severe lack of environmental puzzles/secrets and new mechanics, thus worn off novelty, and godawful Spirit Vision, that tells you what to do if you are stupid THAT much (source magic is ok, though). Still pretty good game for what it is, but it's really inferior to DOS and all other big modern party-based RPGs on the market, why is this game so high-rated is beyond my comprehension. If there would be the third one it MUST BE changed a lot in many aspects.
