[quote name='GogetaSS4']Does this have the one have that same lame battle system that FF XIII had?[/QUOTE]
Basically. But you do somewhat have more freedom with your team despite only two main characters in the game. You get to level up any class you want for the same price of the next node and they don't jump in EXP values so great you can't afford it. No more wait for an unlock to go to the next level.
You also get to tame monsters for your 3rd party member. You can switch them out fuse them, make them learn new abilities and so forth.
If the party leader dies, it's not game over. You'll just switch over to other human character and the battle will continue.
And now there's some QTE and an easy mode, as if the game picking the moves for you wasn't easy enough.
It's a lot more enjoyable than FFXIII.
