Had to drop the game after really enjoying the first game. While the main combat is improved, the new enemy types and attacks become incredibly frustrating because the controls are still ass. For example, sometimes there are healers you have to kill while fighting larger enemies but sometimes the view distance is so low that you cannot see them, and there could be multiple to it becomes an exercise in just running around the enemy to hope I dont miss a healer. The roll is improved but not by much, and too many enemies require it to dodge attacks whereas in the first game I basically never had to roll so it being clunky wasn't an issue, now it is. The story is so bland and all the characters seem like shells the writers used to spit out generic story beats and dialogue to get the game moving. The story in the original game was so different from anything we'd seen in gaming, and this game has a discount Square JRPG story. Even the Dragon controls worse in this game. Just skip this one bro.
