"Now let us rise, young man.."
Gameplay-wise, this is one of the best turn-based games you can play. Press turn is just super fun and the fights have you re-thinking your setups often. I will say that while I loved the worlds in this game, I thought it had a severe lack of actual dungeons.
I thought the story was good. I know it was a big complaint when it came to the original, but I'm working with little knowledge of it as I stopped playing it early on. I went with the Vengeance route from the start to avoid being spoiled on what I figured most would be playing. I loved the dynamic between Tao and Yoko. Their interactions together and just with the MC were the highlights. The run to the ending felt a bit sped up but I thought it was damn cool. I did both the available endings for CoV and thought they were good reflections of the choices made.
I have to end this by saying I think this game has one of the best soundtracks of any game I've played ever. I swear I'd pull up on the most random fight and it has the best song I've ever heard for no reason.
