I really don't like how the chars aren't unlock from the start. There is very little reason to gate characters outside of the legacy system. The combat is fine and most of the bosses aren't bad.
The Junction system is way simpler than what ppl were complaining about and allows for some cool things that weren't in games back then. It needs bit or refinement as far as the collecting of magicks. But other than that, I enjoyed what I played.
I think this is an overall improvement from 1, but the way some of the classes are designed just so bland and the game at worst makes you play these bland ass classes to progress.
Iconic Characters, but shit is cheeks in other categories especially the dungeons. The latter dungeons aren't very distinct room to room, and are designed in way to waste time.
