Finally finished my second playthrough and I can comfortably say this is one of the best games in this site. Story, characters, soundtrack, combat, etc are all very well crafted.
If I had to complain about one thing is that the character development for the MC outside of combat is lacking quite a bit. He is basically the same guy as he was at the start, the only differences being that high corruption makes killing easier for him and he has a proper goal now (power/love). With a game this long I expected him to be a bit different by now but no, he's still the same airheaded, detached, apathetic guy. It feels like the dev is holding his character arc back until he finds out about what happened to his mom.
Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike the MC by any means, he's still a good protagonist in my opinion, I just think he could be a lot better by now.
Aside from that, I'm very excited to see where this story goes. Ella's return and the Black Moon arrival are the two events I am looking forward to the most. SIN infiltration is also very promising and could give us more insight on the monsters and maybe even on Ella's plans.
Side note: my hero name is Shadow and I'm happy with it since I find it very fitting considering the MC has to stay incognito for most part of the game (and now he also works as a spy so it still fits). Imagine my surprise when I read some of the old comments in this thread when it comes to that name and the dog

You fuckers almost ruined the name for me lol; I'm lucky I played the game two times in a row before coming here, this gave me enough time to get used to the name before getting tainted by dogclapping insanity
