We see a flashback of when Kevin first met Ries and her older sister. I thought we were getting drama but turns out Ries's sister is insane.

chapter 2: "I'm running out of chapter titles because this map is kinda bland": begins

The next section of the map is literally Grancel. Except it's not. It's the Otherwordly Capital. Neat.
it took 3 games and a friggin Isekai but I'm finally finding chests inside of houses

Ries's scraft is awesome. She opens a bible and Angemon comes out of it, and kills everything

A large knight boss and about 10 minions stand in front of Grancel Castle

None of them are immune to smoke cannon. Alas.

Ries and Julia using chain crafts is awesome. They just brandish their swords at the same time and skewer the mobs like barbecue

we find another sealed person in Erebonia's embassy. "Olivier? Maybe Josh? They are both from Erebonia"

Nah, it's Mueller. Y'all forgot he existed, but he does

Ries: "It's interesting how everyone here already knows each other"

Yes Ries, it's called a "sequel"

And you are thinking it's weird because you are a Character who is Introduced in the Sequel

I have to ditch someone and it's gonna be Tita, because as a Character who was in the First Game, she has more playtime than everyone here combined. So Kevin, Ries, Mueller and Julia makes for a party of new characters who have had little playtime, which is great for variety

I can now switch orbments of people not in the party. The amount of QoL is staggering

The game added a mechanic where a 5th character can add stats to the party, the remote abilities. Unfortunately, Tita is the worst for that, because her remote ability decreases speed by 5%, which is about the worst thing that can happen to a party. But I want my varied party, danmit. That does mean Tita will never be used again as a remote character as soon as I get a 6th character, though. Fortunately I think this game is easy enough to allow me to be a bit slower for the next bit.

I just realized long barrels are now a Tita exclusive. You cannot use them to boost Kevin's crossbows, for example. Which makes sense, but it's weird that it took a whole game to happen

Olivier should have been allowed to use long barrels too, though. Not that he needs them, tbf, since he relies on magic.
