Takes everything good about FC and pushes it along. This game is also a little slow - especially after the massive cliffhanger at the end of FC - in that the first few chapters are also fundamentally pretty 'villain-of-the-week' but once the story gets going around halfway through, it really grabs you. The systems are pretty much the same as FC, eventually ramping up past where you capped out in the previous game, but this is not a criticism as the turn-based battling is great.
