I've searched for an official thread and didn't find one.
On a lark I decided to try this game out. So far I'm having fun with it, though it's pretty standard SRPG faire. The thing is a little silly with the whole engagement/witch fanservice thing. With it's admittedly passable voice acting it feels like watching a campy anime.

, and like I said I'm having fun in general. But there are some huge annoyances I have with the game.
- The constant appearance of "reinforcements". It would be cool if they did this once in a while, but to do it almost every single freaking battle. Just feels like a stupid gimmick.
- The crazy stupid EXP system. If there was anything that was going to make stop playing this game, this would be it. Gaining points almost exclusively for kills is so 1990s. I absolutely hate having to decide between the right strategic move and the move that will net some under powered character more exp. I understand that there should probably be a bonus for a kill, but when a normal attack nets like 2-4 exp and a kill gets between 10-15 times that much, it makes you feel like you're leveling up one point at a time. Add to that the fact that you have more characters than you can use in a fight and that essentially takes them out of the game. I have a sinking feeling this might kill it for me. But we'll see.
-So far I haven't seen anything that "wows" me. Nothing that makes me think this is anything better than an average SRPG. But if it stays fun then I don't care much.
-Those silly pics of the witches in their wedding dresses are only on for like a second or two so you have to fap really fast.
That aside it seems like Luminous Arc 2 is just an unassuming SRPG. I'll stick with it as long as I have fun with it, but unless the difficulty ramps up or something new happens it seems unlikely I'll stick with it the whole way, much less to get the multiple endings.
