Song Comments:
An awesome battle theme that sounds like a metal instrumental. It could rank way higher, but it's a bit short and the solo is a tad cheesy. There's actually a vocalized version of this, and I urge you to check it out, because it's awesome. Other good tunes from this game are Sunset and My Glasses Are Addicted, and all the battle themes really, but since I was limited to five tunes per series and counted this as part of Atelier Iris, I had to make a choice, and in the end, only one Mana Khemia tune is on the list.
Game Comments:
I played the infamous PSP version of this game, but I downloaded it from PSN, so it wasn't that bad. I really liked the game, as well, and it's the only Gust game I played besides Atelier Iris 1 that has actual difficulty. The second fight against the boss whose theme this is took me almost an entire week until I finally won. Other than that, the game was very funny at first, but the characters were too one-dimensional to hook me in the long run. I felt burned out around chapter seven, but the game picked up again towards the end.
