9 of 75 sampled reviews raised it
Cited by many as one of Experience's best, I immediately saw the improvements in terms of graphics and production value.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
9 of 75 sampled reviews raised it
Music is beautiful, though it's clear they use some tunes from Stranger; combat is very fun; character building is very flexible, thankfully, and you can change classes and subclasses of most characters (only the protagonist and a certain other character cannot change class, but they CAN change subclass).
