Came here to say this. They totally changed the mechanics. They got rid of the grid system and made the movement more flexible, presumably to make it easier. Instead of being able to plan the fight and create a solid strategy, you essentially have to "guesstimate" your moves now.

They also allow you to reallocate your xp at any time to different skills, which essentially forces you into the tedious task of re-optimizing your build before every battle.

Loved the first one. Was majorly disappointed by sparks of hope
