Makes some changes that I dont agree with, but the environments are beautiful, the gameplay is challenging and fun, and the dandori battles make me want to play this with a friend to help them get into the series. Initially, I wasn't a huge fan of the return of caves, but they grew on me over time as they presented fun themed challenges that kept me interested. The over world enviroments are beautiful, and comparatively more open than in previous games. I think I still prefer the large scale management of 3, but this game was great and one I see myself recommending to prospective fans.
