uchikoshi truly is one of the greatest writers, 85% of the time. considering how this game completely disregards any sort of previous character progression in the first game, ima let it slide for the one time because this game has an amazing cast of characters, intricate and incredibly well written story, also just really fucking funny. and so i think it more than makes up for it imo. also THE MUSIC IS SO FUCKING GOOD UGHHHHHHH !!
