Xenosaga Ep. II reviews are up.

I've really never seen why individuality in battle is so important.

Well I'm six hours into the game, having left off in Sakura's world and I found it isn't as bad as some have lead others to believe. I actually enjoy the battle system and so far, there's been a nice amount of info on issues from Episode I. I'm sure those who want more active gameplay will complain but then they shouldn't have bought a Xeno game if they weren't planning on the game revolving around the story moreso than around battling and running around.
