Funny, this game came out almost on same day

People say play this one , it's on par with first Melodies. But when I look closer all I see is pallete swap. Literally. Kids now pilot the bad guy's tank (which was rebuilt despite being hit with all mighty obliterating Soul Cannon btw) fight first Jihl mentioned earlier, then your friend dies but not really, so she can be replaced by Female Britz, but from Gasco. And then you fight smug Dracula who ressurected the Vanagard somehow.
Malt is leader now and gets gradually more depressed. This is not a good story.

Maybe if I played the sequel first I'd be more forgiving, but this is made up nonsense that contradicts first game.
