Huge downgrade from Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen.
Having a giant map doesn't mean a better experience, that said, the environments came out amazing.
Went from 6 skills to 4 for absolutely no reason (your sorcerer will feel it), so you will go around repeating the same 4 skills over and over and over until you switch a class. Took out some of the best classes to add the Trickster which honestly is really bad.
They didn't fix the Pawns dialog... you are traveling with these for maybe a hundred+ hours?
The new class with the glaive that can use the attacks from other classes... got only 3 attacks to pick because one of them is to switch the class. Vocation skill buttons?! Who made these decisions?! feels like a bunch of amateur game designers took charge.
