One of the greatest RPGs of all time followed by a lackluster game with:
-No world map.
-A rather dumb plot (did you really think Lloyd had turned evil?).
-A tacked-on monster-collecting mechanic, that's more trouble than it's worth.
-Too many party members (including the monsters and the ToS characters) when you can only take four into battle.
-The ToS characters don't level up except at certain points in the plot and cap out at Level 50; they also have far less customization options than before.
-Emil and Marta being awful characters.
-The localizers couldn't--or wouldn't--get most of the original voice cast back to reprise their roles.
-Overall a much shorter game than its predecessor.

The only good things were Tenebrae, and having voiced skits (which the original ToS apparently had in the Japanese version).

I understand that the main team was busy with Tales of Vesperia at the time, leaving it to the B-team to make this game, but still.
