Finished at 200%.

Harmony of Dissonance is a lot closer to SotN than it's predecessor in many ways, not to mention a lot more anime. Juste has an after image effect at all times, and many of the magic spells that augment your tools are downright over the top which is really cool. There are tons of great monster designs too, and the animations are pretty impressive for being a GBA game.

Unfortunately, the game is also exceedingly easy. Besides Kid Dracula, I would call it the easiest CV title to date. The soundtrack is a bit mediocre with only a couple of standout tracks as well. What's more, the backtracking is exceedingly rough. I know that's kind of the name of the game when it comes to the genre, but it really feels repetitive and teleporters could've been placed a lot more liberally.

All in all, it was still pretty enjoyable. Juste's cool moveset really went a long way for me.
