I have a pretty hard time deciding on my thoughts on Escha and Logy.
The game is certainly good, gameplay is fun at its finest, the story is one of the best yet, and so is the synthisis.
However there is a single flaw that keeps being annoying the entire game troughout, and that is that the game is just too easy.
The final boss and a few superbosses have some challange, but aside from those I breezed trough very parameter set by the game.
You work in incroments of 3 months Rorona style, but whereas if you were attempting to get every chllange given to you each month in that game, you would spend about the entire month doing so on your first playtrough.
But in Escha and Logy, I got every single objectuve cleared withing the first third of each renewal, save from the last one, because of the superbosses which I don't bother with.
This makes for a laid back experience, but I just wish the game had a bit more challange, since as one of last few games with a time limit, you are definitly given too much time in this game.
I do like how unrelient this game is on its predicesor.
You can perfectly play this game without having played Ayesha, unlike the Arland sequels, which definitly felt like they expected you to have played its own predicesors.
I still reccomend playing Ayesha, since the few refrences to it are nice.
The new characters aren't as interesting though, this has one of the more lame supporting casts in Atelier games, although there are no terrible characters either.
Most of them are just kinda meh.
Lastly, I do not feel like playing through the second campain immideatly after a full laythrough of the first one.
This game is a lot longer then Mana Khemia 2, in fact it might be one of the longest out of all of them, so 2 playthorughs will just be too much with the same characters, settings, objectives and everything else.
Pherhaps in a few months I will, but I feel fine leaving it at one playthrough.
A good game with a few flaws could have been better, but not bad 7.5/10
