FAIRY TAIL 2

- Braindead lazy ass button smasher combat system - Less characters than the previous game - anime accuracy sends regards - recicled animations from the first game - what in the actual ♥♥♥♥ are theese lame DLC prices?

The first one was good, this is ♥♥♥♥. So dissapointed, do better. And the DLC prices? What the hell....game is a total rip off.

It feels like a chimera uninspired mishmash of older Koei games. With a plot back drop of the Alvarez empire arc. I intended to stream this game for friends but I'm struggling to find a reason to pick this game back up.

Hopefully more FAIRY TAIL awesome game The saga need to continue. Next chapter 3 please!

Contrary to popular opinion, I actually think this game is a step-up form the first one! I love the new fighting system, where you actually have to react in time but still don't get locked into helpless button-mashing. As someone who would never be able to even fight a single monster in a souls-like game, the difficulty for me was very pleasant, though I understand it might bore some better players. However, it is still an improvement compared to the turn-based style of the first one, which didn't really fit Fairy Tail's vibe, I believe. The leveling system of the characters has also seen improvement in my opinion. instead of leveling random characters that you never play with points you gain in missions, you now have to actually use them in fights if you want to level them equally. The leveling now is branched, you get to choose which abilities to put points into first, etc. I quite enjoyed it. HOWEVER, the crafting system at the magic cauldron was annoying garbage and I want nothing to do with it. The fact that you couldn't sell the lacrimas so they just clog up your inventory while you search for the ones you actually want to use? Hot garbage. the fact that you can't reliably…

It sure feels like the budget's been upped for this one, though that may not be saying much. Fairy Tail enthusiasts (like myself) will greatly appreciate the detailed open world and lore expansions. The combat system is interesting on paper, but isn't as good as the first game in execution—its breakneck pacing is somewhat at odds with its complexity, and boss fights feel like they're much more about speed, power, and endurance than actual strategy. That said, leveling up to the point where you're wiping out dozens of common enemies in one hit on the overworld is strangely satisfying. All-in-all, not a bad game, but definitely overpriced for what it has to offer. Get it on sale.
