I got to the second boss, which is the harpy that leads the flock in the forest (near the initial village of the first game) and I have to honestly say that the first game still seems better to me in terms of scenes, character design and situations (I think the author abused a lot of hyper content in this game). I played it in Japanese and even though I understand some things, I definitely think it needs a full translation. I stopped playing for the same reason, because I felt that I was missing a lot with so many dialogues without fully understanding what they were saying.
