Thoughts on Torna?

Pros

Graphics seem updated from base game, areas look more polished and clean.
Most Characters have decent personalities and benefits going for them.
New Battle System is great, and streamlines the battle system from the base game. Also is more fitting for a short game. Switching was very tactically rewarding, and allows you to get away with a ton of stuff despite only having Haze for heals.
Torna is fun to explore, with varied environments. All on one titan!
Gormott returns.
Plot managed to introduce characters you could bond with. (Despite knowing that Torna would take a nose dive.)
The story can be experienced without playing XB2, and doesn't spoil that many plot points, aside from Amalthus. It even kept Jin's Flesh Eater plot point hidden, which was kudos.
Some very keen XB2 players can connect the dots with this game. Such as Zettar most likely being the person who began the Tantal Royal Family under Addam's guise.
Addam didn't suck.
Songs that were new/remixed were beautiful, expected from 异度神剑.
Worthless Pouch Items gone, if you want items, you had to actually go and work for them.
Voice Acting was much better then XB2's was. No more flashbacks of Rex screaming.
Ending made me shed a tear.
Several conveinences, such as Aux Cores.
Gort.
Campsites were fun to use, and gave all the characters (Even Aegaeon) personality.
Minoth was worth his weight in gold.
The Final Boss was the coolest thing in the history of everything. I love Mechanic used only for the final boss that don't feel forced.
Field Checks felt fair, because you always had the Blades for the job, but it was up to you to level it up.
More Voice Lines!

Cons

Gormott felt underused, and felt empty.
Community was torture, and made me dread talking to people, and few rewards for doing it.
剧情任务 that force you to raise Community.
There was very little post game content, I couldn't find any 敌人 higher then 55, and the Final Boss was 50/53. Would it have hurt to add in something worth grinding for?
Personally wished we could get Haze/Jin/Malos as blades in the main game, but I understand why we didn't.
Certain characters felt useless/underused, such as Rhandallis and the King of Torna.
Sidequests were almost always the same, especially next to XB2. Collect X, talk to Y. Go through Community Tab. These were forced due to Community requirements.
Untapped 潜力, such as several 其它 Aegis War battle sites.
Game's story felt rushed, but this is fine compared to the length of the game.
It felt 郁闷 trying to ration out WP for both Vanguard and Main Arts.
Switching wasn't really needed until Level 20, which is too much free space.
