I regret skipping dialogues in EC2 I mean it was cringy for me at first but after playing for around 50hrs and reached midway the story went into something nice and pretty intriguing for me plus the events. On EC1 I played around 300hrs and I feel the same though the ending was really great. I realized it was worth it and I find out Alaster was pretty cool in EC2 in terms of skills and basic atk animations, I'm Alaster main btw. I say this game was 10/5 best offline game I played and download in playstore/taptap!
