Melia's battle theme is also way better than Nia's.

100%. The Bionis Shoulder battle theme was already top tier, and Brilliant Wings just elevates it even further. I appreciate that turning Drifting Soul into a battle theme and having it work well is an accomplishment, but Melia's is one of the best tracks in a game already stuffed to overflowing with amazing tracks.

Started FR, got an hour in (when Glimmer runs away). Sure will be an interesting story, I'm sure. Also, man, wish this AG point system was in the base game, seems like a good way to incentivize exploration and collection. Not that I need any extra push, but it's a cool idea. I'll miss Noah and Mio and the gang, but it was a damn good game.

Yeah, the point system is pretty awesome. As you say, I don't need much of a push to explore, and it does end up dragging a bit toward the end when you've got almost everything and are being kept from fully developing your characters because you missed the one little alcove where level 3 Cantankerous Jimmy was hiding and have to go hunt for that, but being directly rewarded for exploration with character growth is a great mechanic.

Are you full of beans yet?

As adjl said, even from X2, it's almost impossible to tell there's any relation at all, until the very end.

Even better than that, up until 2 actually released, Takahashi explicitly denied that there was any connection between the games. Then Birth of a Universe came along and blew everyone's minds.
