It was nice to spend time with Sophie again. The alchemy system from the Mysterious series has been further refined, combat is still enjoyable, and the core loop is rock solid. Probably a few hours too long, though.
I didn't think this game would be good enough to dethrone the previous two, which were really great, but it did. Without a doubt, this is the best game in the franchise that I have played so far. I didn't expect to like it so much, especially because I didn't enjoy Sophie 1 very much, but I truly loved this one. The ending emotionally destroyed me oof
Not really sure why I keep buying these since I haven't got very into one since the very first one I played (I am buying them on sale at least), but I'll give this one credit for seeming better than the prior Sophie game. I guess they're just fun games to start playing since you get to meet a bunch of characters in a new setting and do some chill stuff, but they just don't "hook" me all that much. I haven't touched this since my 2nd sitting with it, but I guess I could see myself picking it up occasionally and slowing going through more of it rather than starting another one at this point, since it does seem probably a bit better than all the other ones I dropped.
