World End Economica episode 2
After the events of the first game, we now meet a Haru (Hal in the first game) which is deeply hurt and almost traumatized, from the persona which would literally begin flying around the Moon, we now see a person which due the shock of what happened, he need not only treatment, but even uses a stick to walk around - he is now a much more mature figure, but jaded and almost scared due begin guilty driven, he now lead a simple life, doing a simple governmental job, while trying to recover.
Until his friends Risa (Lisa in the first game) and Chris (which now manage to get in the Moon University), while trying to help him, point Hal to a new chance, when they lead him to Eleanor, a noble lady which ask Hal to once again take the stock market to help her cause against the all powerful Avalon corporation, which is even shaking the Emerald Industries (the most powerful group from the first game).
The second chapter is much about Hal facing his old fears and admit to himself that he want to go back to the stock market, while he tries understand his own feeling toward Chris and even Hagana. The history is much better, even if it is a middle chapter, still manages to have a really intense ending, as it feature many deep characters, such as Eleanor, Le Goff and even the leader of Avalon. The narrative mix well Hal healing process along the investigation of Avalon with Eleanor, as it develop the backstory of the Moon and the politics and economics behind it.
The art is much improved and very beautiful as is the music. The localization did a bit of change in the names, such Hal becoming Haru, Serrault becoming Cerrow and Lisa becoming Risa. The reason it appear the company that did the translation in first episode is not the same as this one. This episode uses a different engine too, not that is noticeable, but at least for me the steam overlay did not appear to work.
