Phew, just finished the game. It's not exactly terrible, but it wasn't as much fun as I'd hoped for. The backtracking really dragged this game down for me. There were only about 5 or 6 small towns in the game, everything else was mostly Tower and some dungeons.
Easy final boss was EASY! I was kinda overpowered from fighting Kanade all those times so it took hardly any time at all. Plus I had lots of S-crystals to recrystallize with after that. A little challenge would be have been better, at least for the final dungeon.
Diving was kinda fun, though, especially Shurelia's path. I scrolled through some of the scenes, others made me go WHOA, I'm not old enough for this! The ending wasn't too bad either
Overall it was a fairly satisfying experience and I'm definitely looking forward to AT2 now. Also listening to [Chronicle Key] over and over again because it's awesome.
Oh, something weird. If you choose Aurica's path, you get to
or so I heard, but if you choose Misha's path
