This game added good new features but sadly removed some of the best features of the original. The new ES's are too simplistic, and the new skill/ethers system makes all the characters handle too similar. I enjoyed the more complicated system in the original. Not this where you spend most of your time doing the stupid mini quest. The battle system is too simple especially with Shion and MOMO. They should bring back the items, personalized ethers, and single techs. The story line was still interesting and the twists keep it going. But the new voice for MOMO drives me insane. Its just too whiny. Hopefully they get it right in number 3.
