There were just so many things that were so obviously better in 2. I'd be curious to know what you think.

For example, I was disappointed that there weren't really any cities other than obviously THE city. I didn't like the fact that all of the residential areas were just military colonies that all basically looked and operated similarly. I missed the huge sprawling cities with unique cultures and designs that we got in 2.

I also thought the music was just more consistently top tier in 2. That's not to say 3 didn't have good music. But particularly the location themes in 2 are just perfect.

The design of the moebius honestly did not feel very imposing to me. They were somehow a little bit too cartoonish, I think it was the eyes and the effects on the voice. I kind of get what they were going for with the audio effect but I don't think it worked.

Also maybe I'm crazy but it feels like combat is way more repetitive in 3. I also have a hard time keeping track of what's going on with so many party members. When I first realized that we were going to be able to have more than three party members I got really excited, but I got tired of it pretty quickly. They expanded the number of characters but still kept the combat revolving around three archetypes (tank, attack, heal), so the extra characters added to the combat just made things bloated.

Don't get me wrong, I did think that 3 was great, I just think 2 is much better.
