I’ve played the original. Graphics and puzzles were outstanding, especially for so early in the GBA’s life.

But I found the music and story to be underwhelming. (Except for the Venus Lighthouse theme, that was quite the banger)

Is the second game better in those regards?

It's really one game split into two. There's some new tracks in The Lost Age, but if you weren't a fan of the first OST, the second isn't any different.

The story continues in the sequel and rounds things out a bit more. If I had to pick between the two, The Lost Age is my favourite, but you can't have that without the first.

I was a child in the 90s: I absolutely played the second without knowing about the first.

"Ah, in media res, how avant-garde....I don't know who these people are but they sure seem acquainted."

Not saying you can't play just one or the other, but they're both made better by the existence of the other.
