    Another Final Fantasy Tactics clone with slightly simplified combat over the last outing. They have included a skip feature on the cut scenes this time, but only for the current line of text so they still take waaaaay too long. But a nice little turn-based strategy game...when you *eventually* get to actually play it.

    Still, the battle improvements, presentation polish, and overall cheeky vibe keep the single-player option well worth playing.
  2. While there may not exactly be a shortage of RPGs available on the DS, Luminous Arc 2 does just enough right to warrant a playthrough.
  3. The story is engaging and the characters are lively and fun. Those that wanted something more in its predecessor will surely be pleased. Fans of the strategy RPG genre will definitely want to check this one out.
