Appealing conclusion to the original "Mysterious" trilogy that strikes a good balance between conservatism and experimentation.
+ well-designed main character duo with a cute sisterly dynamic
+ heartwarming story centered around family
+ very intricate but never confusing alchemy system that makes for engaging puzzles of optimization
+ constant stream of events involving the stacked supporting cast of alchemists
+ bright hub city with an elegant solution for diverse maps
+ ample post-game featuring several new areas and challenges
+ decently streamlined gear crafting
- ridiculous necessity of repeated backtracking through long areas
- basic quality of life features removed (area maps, sorting & display options in menus)
