Well, I guess time is nonlinear for Singlor, much like his movies...

Today’s words were "elegant" and "sea anemone." I think I spent too much time focusing on the ship where they’re talking; I’m happy with how it turned out, but the "sea anemone" doesn't quite convince me. For the crowd, I had planned to draw several people in "elegant" attire—I started with the first two you see, but I ran out of time, so I left it as is. I’ve found a brush that I really enjoy using.

I played both games and platinumed them. And the big thing i dont like about GR2 is the way precious crystals are balanced throughout the game.

I started noticing it somewhere on 3-6 chapters (when you in Jirga Para Lhao) you kinda upgrading your powers really slow.
And by the end of the game + completing all side missions i noticed that i barely even collected HALF of precious gems i need for upgrading.

I was hoping this game would have may be NG+ mode but no. And only thing you can do to earn gems for rest of upgrades is to play 19th mission part over and over for ~2 hours.

You can say that you dont need to do it because you already completed the game, but even casual players missing on later upgrades for no reasons. I dont know if it just poor balancing, or deadlines was tight for the game. But this balancing issue is easy fix for this game, since it has a lot of side activities. Here is what could have been.

1. Side missions. There are 40+ of them and they could easily give you precious gems for completing them.
   
2. Rifts. Collecting gems from them could give more precious gems.
   
3. Heksville balancing. Heksville being the late game and you still have 1unit gems in the city when you need around 2000+ units for upgrades.
   
4.  Delvool Mining Trench. is a mini 'rogue-like' type of mini game that can give you gems for completing floors.
   
5. Talismans that multiply gems your earning. May be x2 or x3 non stackable one premium gemstone would be enough.

Here is my thought, i wanted to share it so may be someone feeling the same way about how upgrade tree balanced.
