The major change here is the Mantra system being switched out for a more grid-based hexagon table and the addition of "Berserker Mode" (which in my opinion feels like a little more than a gimmick), but other than that the gameplay remains largely unchanged, which is good cause it's still very solid, only problem is that you might feel a bit burned out on it. But the story and characters are still absolutely masterful and I love all of it.
