Hm....
The intro is not bad, and the music as always is well chosen. still, it was a little choppy and thrown together, but overall, the intro works.
the menu screen looks pretty neat, and the music there is good... i would like a less hurried jump to the story, but that's just conjecture.
The animation is undoubtably better in this one, although there are spots of choppy graphics. The text boxes in their presentationw as well done. I would have liked more variety for music, and for the battles, some more fluidity.
Some instances, especialy the ass and gay-on completely ruined the mood, making it difficult to recover the rest of the plot, and the text before meeting the guardia is awkward.
The overdrive attacks are cool, but still some generic sprite looks make it look strange.
The story overall is much improved, although still missing some key elements such as character development, and lack of cliches, but it's not bad.
The abrupt ending was a little lame for me, as the length was below par. However, you should look into different animation techniques and try to limit music to a lower size.
a gallant effort tho, and much improved, which i like to see. unfortunately, it is still lacking in the areas it depends on most, which is story and action. Well done, but i'd look into having an animated fight, programing these will kill file size because you just have a bunch of 'would be, could be' chocies, that if not chosen, are just dead weight.
not bad, but could be better. 4/5
