That'd learn ya for flagging my PG radar in your title.

Now go and play Valkyria Chronicles

PS2 also has Mana Khemia, which is awesome, though I suggest skipping 2. It uses a lot of things from Atelier Iris, if you've played those, and they are good as well, and adds more tweaks and features to create an awesome title.

I dunno, I like Mana Khemia 2. The only thing I didn't like was Whim and Lily. But mostly Whim, Lily was cool for like half a minute in Chapter 9.

Also there's Nostalgia coming out in a couple of weeks. It looks pretty good.

It's not so much Mana Khemia 2 was a bad game, but it was nothing but a downgraded version of the first game.

Same mechanics, but ugly menus.
A varied cast like Mana Khemia, but the characters were far less interesting.

And of course Flay and Toni's appearances were cool, as well as Zepal's, but none of them had teh same level of appeal as they did when in the first Mana Khemia.

I can fully understand a sequel being different and I can appriciate that, but all Mana Khemia 2 did was try and fail to be Mana Khemia 1.

I dislike this game more for the laziness of the design rather then the game itself.
