Don't hate me for this, but I find the FFTA2, not that great. Just very average.
I like the new jobs, and all the improvements they've made, but the whole battles everything really feels slow. The story is far too generic, or at least it feels like it. At least in the first one, there were a few interesting things that made me kept on going, like the other characters from his own world.
The stylus controls are far too slow, the damaging doesn't do very much, and a few other things. One battle seems to take too long, for while the enemy has around 100 hp, you only do 15 per hit. Archers do even less.
Maybe it's because I've been playing too much Luminous arc 2, and Disgaea lately. However, I liked the original FFTA over the first LA, but the second one, I'm not too impressed...
And as for the Luminous arc 2, it's actually decent this time. The first game was ok, but fairly generic, and suffered quite a few problems. For example, it's was very unbalanced (Alph, and Theo were horrendously weak, while leon was overpowered), had some frustrating stylus problems, the "far too fast" leveling, extremely easy boss fights, grinding levels for characters and the DP points stacking up only after killing an enemy. The second game managed fix all of those problems, and it did impress me with how much it improved. I will in fact look forward to the translations whenever it comes out.
I'll still continue to play FFTA2, since I've only played for around 3 hours, but that's just how I feel. right now. Maybe this feeling will change when I get farther into the story, but as of now, I'm actually disappointed.
