This is how you do a sequel. It keeps all the charm, visuals, and base gameplay from the first game while also improving on each category in many different ways. It allows the travelers to interact with each other more than ever before which was a big complaint for me for the first game. The gameplay has been enhanced as well with new additions added to the battle system that makes the fights that much more entertaining. The characters are all lovable and each has their own compelling story to go through. The final segment of the game is what takes it cake though. Throughout each of their own individual adventures, you slowly start to piece a connection together between them all, and by doing all of the side stories, you unlock the final chapter of the game. This is by far the most thrilling part of the game, and allows for the story to reach the heights that I was looking for the entire time. Seeing it all come together was so gratifying and made everything feel that much more impactful. This is another section in which I believe they improve upon the first game. Overall, while it's not perfect in my eyes, as I wish there were more side stories or cutscenes that could've eluded to the overarching theme throughout the game, it is very close and I enjoyed every second of the adventure.
