better presentation, better acting, the addition of combining jobs is fantastic. the whole battle system to be is better but maybe because i like things to be a little easier so i can experiment more

the characters actually banter with each other ala Y7 and other rpgs where you get a prompt and sometimes you will encounter sidestories involving 2 of the party members which is really cool

idk 2 is just handled so much better. the stories overall are SO much better

they *just* need MORE party member interaction

oh you can go inside buildings now too
