Feels like they streamlined the process so much they missed the point.
Major gripes are.
No tower skills
No weapon skills.
No Magichange
Only one weapon slot per character.
Multi character attacks animations missing
3d art style is not as good as the 2d art style.
Starting stats and overall progression feels off.
Skill lists lowered in general dramatically.
Way too many more to list here.
Good things.
Juice bar is interesting.
The auto fight, but should be unlocked after main campaign.
Party auto run items worlds.
If you are a hard-core fan for the depth of gameplay rather than just story it's a hard pass. If it is just for the story or you are new to the series then there is fun to be had here.
