This topic was made before the other five zillion, which makes it superior.
ANYWAY.
So I beat Symphonia 2. And...
Well, I was kind of overwhelmed by unexpectedness and awesome at the ending I chose (yeah, uh... never ever ever EVER choose the crazy, super special ending in a game on your first try. 0_o)
It was just... wow. WOW. Overall thoughts:
-Seeing old ToS characters was winwinwinwin
-Music remixes are
worthy
-Game was pretty short, but I think half of that comes from the lack of grinding and exploring on the field map, which I actually don't miss too incredibly much.
-Visiting old ToS places was win but it would've been nice to see a few more new places
-Final dungeon DESIGN was cool as hell but seriously, needed to be a helluva lot bigger/more fun to explore/etc.
-voiceover skits were hilarious
-No costumes..? (Maybe there are some and I just totally missed them)
-Monsters were cute and awesome and stuff, but leveling them back up each time after evolution was kind of annoying, even with the manuscripts and stuff
Oh and btw I figured out that bosses are ever slightly easier to kill if you control Emil and not Marta. We totally owned Alice and Decus after that. :]
So, all in all, I thought it was an AWESOME sequel to the first game. Ending battle was really really REALLY climactic. And no ZOMG HALFELVES ARE DESCRIMINATED AGAINST BOO HOO, so you can have no complaints, ML.
Also, I did a little mini sidequest that really required no work but was really cool and really cute. :]
It solely involves Lloyd and the original ToS characters.
For those who want to know how to do it:
Spoiler Below After entering the Otherworldly Gate, go to Iselia until you see a scene. Then go to Flanoir and see the scene there.
Easy as hell to do, not really a sidequest, but really awesome in my opinion.
