Just finished the game main story
In nutshell "Wait, what ? really ?" is the only thing I can describe for the story. It has several nice ideas to introduce and improve on the setting, but falls flat in execution and how there are no new characters that can carry on until the end like the 1st game. Romeo in particular is just a disaster. Ciel is adorable, but that is more about moe factor instead of adding into the story. They also recycled the Aragami and map from previous game too much. Only a few new maps and Aragamis. Those who are not familiar with some of the Aragamis and think of them as new would be surprised to know that those were actually from DLC of GE and GEB, so the truly new ones are less than 10 in numbers. At least the game looks nice in Vita and the gameplay has been improved in some areas. Though I wish higher level of Blood Artes to actually have more variations instead of just more hits/damage or flashier effect. Some more variations are also added and improve on the game depth. Finally, and this is my biggest disappointment. I'm not really impressed with Go Shiina's works in here. Only a few tracks that are noticeable, really pale in comparison with his works in GE and GEB. |

So what were Kanagi Yuu/the GEB protagonist and Lindow doing while this was happening? I understand they had their own mission, but shouldn't they have been called back as backup at least once considering how bad things got?
Clearly the story needed a DON'T RUN AWAY moment |

The GEB protagonist originally went into Europe with Lindow and Tsubaki for a mission, then in April of 2074 they returned to the Far East base (this is depicted in the manga "Undercover"). After that, during somewhere in July of the same year he was given another request to go back to Europe (this is from the novel "Moonlight Mile"). Due to this, Kouta was appointed as the captain for the 1st squad replacing him.
As for Lindow, he does appear in here. Though, he is back only after all things regarding the main story is done and his role here have more to do with his team, Cradle (the squad that Soma and Alisa belongs to), hunting a certain "pure-bred" Aragami called as Kyuubi (this is basically the extra story in here after you get the ending). I can see them continuing the story from there for the Burst version of GE2. |

Given the GE1's Burst was basically the "Protag is Badass" storyline, which to my pity didn't really expand much on the rest of the core characters. ( except Lindow )

It's still a chance, it will probably revolve around Julius coming back like Lindow. At least they have a ground to start off, if they fail to do so then so be it. Though, judging from the extra story in here the chance of a story about Cradle's team is as high as the former.
But then again, I personally care more about what they will do to improve the gameplay and I'd be fine with whatever plot & character development they throw at me. |

PSP probably hampers how far they can go to improve the gameplay experience ( maps, gameplay elements, etc ) since it had to be made for two platforms.
Hope Freedom Wars show what's the true potential of SHIFT in a more powerful handheld.

i finally killed naruto i mean the kyuubi in story 88. she's definitely tougher than the kyuubi in story 87. her life sucking technique is really cute", if they want to kill this monster, just focus breaking her head, equip health and stun grenade as many as they can.
edited: i always bring Erina on the mission because she's mostly stands long fighting",
