The greatest video game ever, hands down

Holy shit. Where the first game walks, this game SPRINTS. Improves upon literally everything in the first game. New characters that bring an interesting dynamic to the gang from game 1 are introduced. The story pacing is sublime. The plot has much more serious stakes with more personal connections between the heroes and villains, yet the game also makes sure to provide plenty of downtime to fully immerse yourself not only in the game world but also just get more background on the cast. There's never a dull episode in this game. Add a fantastic soundtrack and a greatly improved battle system and you are left with one of my favorite games of all time, and a game that I know for sure that I will be replaying several times as the years go on. It's not out yet, but as of me writing this a fan translation is in development and I'm so stoked that more people will be able to play this amazing game in the future. I fuckin love this game, dude.

This game is an improvement on the original in almost every way possible, even some ways which I thought were impossible. I think it occasionally dips its toes in some tropes that aren't that good for some characters (the Bara-gumi's introduction is Rough), but on the whole this is one of my favorite games of all time, and an amazing follow up to the first game.
