Well, most of it -- I still have the extras to look into and wanted to give my thoughts:

Main Episode -- I think it turned out really good in the end. I wasn't really feeling Part 1, though there was good stuff in there. Part 2 was much better. Jacopo's sections were excellent, and made great use of new characters, and even Morgana's part was interesting even if the actual events were a retread. I was scared this thing would feel needless, maybe even boring, but it turned out great.

While the main episode was good, the real treat were the Sub Episodes. I'll spoil these thoughts since I don't think the plots of them are very well-known:

Assento Dele -- This episode focuses on Michel and a new character, Imeon. I thought it was well-done little story but a few nitpicks detract things a bit for me. I think it's now weird that Michel never mentions Imeon and she is never brought up in any way after this. Of course that's the nature of prequels like this that introduce new people that have an impact on characters' lives I suppose. I also think it is slightly cheap that Imeon and Michel basically had the same life. But I enjoy the ironic/tragic nature of their relationship.

Tales Wasted Away In Obscurity -- This is actually three smaller episodes in one. The first two fill in some gaps with Mell/Nellie's and Yukimasa's life. They're both interesting short tales that fit in nicely with the rest of the story. The real winner I think is the third one, that details Georges' and the rest of the Bollingers' lives after Michel's death. This one gives more of an explanation/closure to Georges and Didier's actions which was nice. My one grievance is that Aimee is brought back and instead of having some kind of comeuppance she again gets away with everything and gets what she wants. But it is what it is, and at least we see that Georges realizes what kind of person she is in the end.


Happily Ever After -- This was a really nice episode that takes place after the ending of the first game and details Giselle and Michel's first date. It's fun, hopeful and light which is exactly what I would want from something like this. I loved it, and the end of it leaves room for more? I'm not sure if there any more follow up games after this one yet.
