Another difference is the absence of enemy engagement at random points in the game. I personally liked it because I do not like having to battle the same enemies again when I return to a place I've been before. Another cool thing about the game is that characters can be transported to any place on the map regardless of their location. Definitely easy to travel from place to place. Overall, gameplay is great except for one major flaw with graphics that hinders its excellence.
Graphics are beautifully rendered, however the beauty applies only to the backgrounds.
The bad part about it is that the characters are often very blocky. Sometimes it becomes difficult to distinguish characters and direction of movement in battles. However, oftentimes the characters become so small that combat is difficult to control. As a result, battles are often engaged by madly moving the mouse up and down and all around, hoping to slice a piece of any enemy. Background music, sound effects, and voice acting are excellent.
