Cons
-Ryu's dragon transformations are no longer lasting in battle but act like a summon
-Some of the aspects of the game give you no clues whatsoever to do a certain task to get a certain item or event to happen (i.e. the earth shaman quest)
-Gameplay overall is generic
-Translation both in story and in battle are horrible
-Item limitations still exist - you can only have 9 of each item in each cell still.
