Finally some good news but hopefully they add a better story to the second game.

They could add a lot more than that imo. I'd like to see a much greater variety in the sidequests, more in-depth NPC interaction, and more variety to the landscapes as well.

I'm also hoping they do away with the cel-shaded graphics, but I don't think that's likely to happen.
