Hmm. None of those address the real problem of the last game: it was a chore to play.

I am not sure If I am happy about EO2.

EO literally stole 2 months of my life, :( ....

I hope this time is shorter or easier to unlock the weapons and stuff....

damn, I wish it wasn't that addictive.

Ouch on that Arcana Heart score...what could have happened to really make them rip on a game that features what a good deal of people love (lolis and their antics)?

Komori was the worldview concept writer for EO1, and the writer for Princess Crown and Devil Summoner.....

I'm not sure why she's directing EO2...... ^^;;;;;;;;

I expect EO2 to be more balanced than EO1. I gave up on it because it required too much grinding.

Yeah, the having to go chop wood and stuff constantly ruined it for me. I never thought I would find something more boring than ordinary grinding, but they did it.

I'm okay with it, it does sound like they're messing with the formula though... if it's the same developer it should be fine...

I'm happy we can now start quoting Fami's Lair review scores in all future Fami threads as undisputable evidence of the irrelevance of Fami reviews.

We've had that evidence for years now and yet people still give weight to Famitsu scores
