Absolute improvement - one of the best parts of the series

After the all-around disappointment that was the predecessor, this part is a real ray of hope.
Positives:
many innovations: the synthesis system of Ayesha was taken but significantly improved; Change the land system makes exploring the world more interesting again; by up to 3 additional fighter fighting is mixed up; alchemical weapons are again useful - and more interesting;
the city and the other characters are much more sympathetic and more interesting than in Ayesha, the better characters like Marion and Linca play here again
the main characters: Logy is extremely sympathetic (but would still be drawn slightly cooler) and Escha is not as annoying as Ayesha, despite their both childish as unfortunately often childish behavior.
The world is attractive and interesting
The story is fun - the R & D of a frontier town to establish and expand is a very appealing and very well-executed story

Negatives:
Little. Some things could have been improved (reflecting the discussions behind acts such as very fake)
Most still disturbs the straight to start very low degree of difficulty to complete all tasks premature. Since the focus but strongly suggests the world is to discover, places to linger longer to find through improved Gathering ranking other, rarer items, is really to get over that.
All in all, a definite recommendation. If I am completely honest is only Rorona better than this part of the series.
