Vandal Hearts II boasts over 120 different weapon and armour combinations and the game features non-set classes unlike many other RPGs.

Joshua's renegade band of outlaws gets drawn into a plot to create a third faction to end the war and restore peace.

Joshua personally leads Nicola to a meeting with Kossimo, but the older Byron refuses to start a rebellion, even if it would depose Agatha.

Graud and Godard are pleased to discover from Nicola’s documents that Adele can regain the Byron’s powerful status and send her off to the capitol.

Adulthood Chapters Nicola succeeds in routing Agatha from the Eastern Capitol Yuggor, but she flees to Gardeau in West Natra.

Viewing Nicola has lost his purpose, the Blood Knights leave him for dead and establish Adele as the new head of East Natra.

While attacking West Natra, the White Dragons discover how far the Kudur Cult’s experiments have twisted the people, turning them into crazed killers like Kossimo.

Upon returning to Central Natra, Joshua is shocked to find Kleuth and the Blood Knights entranced while Ladorak and Yuri are willing participants of the Kudur Cult.

The Twin Empire's planned conquest of Natra turns out to be a ruse, and Archeo surprise attacks Zora, forcing a retreat.

The White Dragons arrive in the Gardeau throne room in time to find Agatha’s loyalists executing Gregor, causing West Natra to collapse.

Hearing that everyday people were just as zealous as the church, Godard completely lost faith in Nirvath and made plans to eradicate the world with the ancient Life Tree.

Yuri reveals that he has uncovered that Saint Nirvath used the power of Vandal Hearts to cause an apocalypse, but hid all evidence when founding the church.

Likewise, depending on actions throughout the game Adele may either commit suicide, rejoin with Godard, or peacefully reconcile with Joshua.

The White Dragons head to Nirvadia, home of the Nirvath church, to destroy the Life Tree and put down Godard (along with Adele if she remained faithful).

During the final battle, Franz’s true self resurfaces and is able to keep Godard under control, allowing Joshua to make the killing blow.

Those that acquired all available weapons will unlock a hidden scene of Joshua returning the Vandal Hearts sword to its resting place, where he encounters a Vandalier warrior implied to be Ash from the first game.

[5] Francesca Reyes of NextGen said, "With its steep leaning curve, VH2 [sic] may not be ideal for novices, but because it has a strong story and clever battle features, it proves to be a great challenge for veterans.

[2] Other criticisms included the game's general lack of explanation towards the more complicated systems, and a translation that is described by RPGFan as "adequate but unimpressive".
