Overall, EO2HD is a more pleasant experience than the first. The additional jobs were a saving grace and did a lot to break some of the monotony in EO1. Some skills were changed and balanced in ways that made sense. Ultimately, I think all the good QoL changes made the game friendlier and easier but I mostly attribute that to retiring adventurers being a lot more sensible. Solid 7/10.
