I really enjoyed both this and the previous entry. I think on balance this is slightly better localised. I enjoyed it alot. Its one of the nicest games to play windowed. There are some bugs doing that, for example the sky box not fully filling the scene or steps into rooms being a bit off. This was true of part 1, but not nearly as noticeable. I would give this a 5 stars, if it wasn't for the minor glitches above and one gameplay problem. SC attempts to have branching areas, so you can do any branch you feel like first. However this often leeds to a tough first branch, a fairly easy middle branch and forgetable (from a combat point of view) last branch. This is due to the fixed enemy levels, so essentially you soon out level the enemies in the other branches, but the game can not compensate for that leveling. Its a shame you can see that ironically with a more linear order like FC, this game would be near perfect for what it is. I love this series and I had loads of fun, with very well realised characters. In a fun and interesting setting. TC (Third Chapter) is on its way. Play the first one FC if you can, if you like it, pace yourself. These are not short games and there is about 70 hours of gameplay here. I think these are excellent games for a someone to get into turn based JRPGs. I love this game, I just can't give it 5/5 in a review with its obvious flaws.
Nice game, charming characters. Looks a bit pixelly blown up to 1440p. Bare in mind its linneage from PSP to PS3 to PC. It has really good windowed support, being turn based it works well for nipping in and out. Supports Mouse, Keyboard and controller. Though your controller must be on before launching. I like it a lot.
