The story and characters of Second Light are by far its biggest selling points. The only way to get them back and figure out who they are is by exploring their Heartscape and finding memory fragments. All of the girls that have been sent to Hoshinomiya High have had their memories wiped. Unlike Persona, Blue Reflection: Second Light is about rediscovery rather than facing your other self and growing as a person. Although, in this case, the purpose of completing a Heartscape is different. Its concept is similar to that of the palaces from Persona 5.
The Heartscape is a mysterious world that is created based on a person’s memories and emotions. The protagonist Ao Hoshizaki and the other girls are tasked with exploring the Heartscape. If my time playing Second Light is anything to go by, then that is a fantastic thing. And yet, it turns out that Koei Tecmo has not given up on this series, and neither had Gust. Many had assumed that Blue Reflection was set to become yet another ambitious, but forgettable, game. The original achieved reasonable sales but hardly took the JRPG scene by storm. Truthfully, it’s surprising we even have a sequel to play. Judgment day has now arrived with Koei Tecmo and Gust releasing Blue Reflection: Second Light.
SHADOW OF MEMORIES SEQUEL SERIES
But the potential was there, and if the feedback was acted upon, a well-made sequel could elevate the series to another level. The game showed a lot of the typical signs of a budget JRPG, especially due to its lack of polish. The consensus? It was okay, but clearly flawed. Blue Reflection entered the JRPG scene in 2017.
