What I liked:
- It's DDDA but better. Simpler and more refined, Unapologetically as clanky and janky as the previous game. Almost everything you liked about DDDA is in, they only left a few things out from the first game. They even made it look and feel like the first game. Basically if you liked or loved the first game, you'll feel the same for this game. So I'd advise anyone on the fence on this game - go play the first game (twice, because... you know).

What I didn't like:
A little buggy. Massive CPU load in towns. Still as clanky and janky as the previous game, just like in the first game, where you might need just a single keypress in other games, you'll need to facepalm your keyboard in this one. They DID leave out a few things from the first game, i.e. certain overpowered skills and abilities - hmm, I kinda like this.

PSA: All those consumables DLC (read: uTX)? You can earn 100s of Rift Crystals within the first hour. 10 hours and you're swimming in 10k RC. Obviously Capcom thinks video game players are really stupid. Judging by the player reviews... Capcom is right.

You can farm Rift Crystals (RC) at the rate of a few hundred per half-hour session from higher tier spirit/ghost mobs. You can then camp/inn-rest to respawn them/etc.

When a mob gets killed, you get both an eXPerience reward (character level) and DisCipline Points (vocation level and vocation skill purchase/upgrades). The ratio of the eXP/Dcp is higher for higher tier mobs - i.e. for quicker levelling of vocations, kill lots of low level mobs. You CAN max rank all vocations before you hit level 42 (takes a stupid amount of effort and is somewhat less fun)

If you are new to the franchise or play a lot of games similar to WoW... don't skip the dialogue, PAY ATTENTION and be very, very aware that a quest can be solved in more than a few ways, i.e. the game doesn't do much paw-holding and expects you to think out of the box. This is NOT a Ubisoft or EA game (except the uTX DLCs... Capcom literally thinks you are dumb enough to buy sand while on the beach - Capcom is right)
