Would have to echo previous sentiment.
Love all these characters.
Not as good as the first game, still good.
Tia not even being mentioned in the game at all fucking sucks. While I can at least just say that they probably go fetch her after the story, and it makes sense that she isn't there because she hadn't intended on going to the Demon World in the first place, she should at least be mentioned in the ending about how someone is going to go grab her. She's also the most 'consensual' lovey-dovey character in the game iirc, other than Rami?
I think the setting just isn't as strong, Klurs had also already succeeded so you wanna fight for your waifus but it's not as much of a zero to hero story as the first one (he's pretty much never really underestimated much for instance, except by the final boss.) You get less a sense of him succeeding out of sheer will.
Losing the banter between him and Myuu was a massive blow. I was laughing almost constantly in the first game. There were some good bits in this one too (mostly Farea's "...." lines).
Still, I don't think matching the first game was a reasonable expectation and this is still a satisfying enough conclusion, with again the notable exception of Tia just being forgotten about.
