One thing that I appreciate about the Anima quest's 2nd step is that there are little bits of story between the dungeons. It kepts the intrigue up, which motivates you to continue, because each new dungeon held with it the chance to see a new cut scene. I would appreciate it if the longer steps were broken up with cut scenes and story in them to help keep things moving. As it is now there won't be any story progression during step 3 for what will likely be months.
