Missions usually make you go through an area/dungeon or just destroying enemies as they keep appearing. Some have switches and other gimmicks from mainline DQ games.
Sometimes you have to protect an NPC, but it's usually done less by strategically placing monster coins and more by just defeating attackers. Also, monsters summoned with coins will now follow you instead of standing in place (their priority is still fighting enemies though, so they'll most likely stop to clean up leftovers). No TD like in first game.

I like the more open-ended style that they're going for. The game feels more like an action RPG with musou elements and this fits much better than the tower-defense stuff that they went with in the original game. They greatly improved a bunch of stuff with the game, so this title is quite the large upgrade over the previous one with the gameplay mechanics. Though combat is still the same, button press combos + activated skills from a quick menu.

Really am impressed with the game, along with the whole skilling up your weapons / class changing and other whatnots most def can see myself spending a ton of time in the game. Its insane how much they improved everything in comparison to the first game. Instead of just a tiny increment with changes, such as like how the DW series is in general.

Its cool how the open map areas have some sections or shortcuts closed off till you get a character with a specific skill for example the fire spell mera to burn down knotted branches.
The class change system makes it so your party can be slightly more flexible with the main character setup. Where before it was hard to part with certain characters due to losing that specific play style.

Credits rolling, I just finished the game. As much better as the sequel was, I'm not going to do the postgame, because I've had enough button mashing for a few months (my hand actually hurts).
I was very surprised with how short the main story was (~23 hours) compared to the previous one (~35?), although since the first game dragged like heck near the end, I'm happy that they didn't go for the forced length.
I also did ~70% quests, since I didn't feel like rushing and wanted to enjoy my time with the game.
I also did the first two multiplayer dungeons multiple times, both online and offline. They're fun, although a bit short.
Dragon Quest Heroes 2 is what the first game should have been. It barely has elements of tower defense, and big fields/multiplayer are a great addition.
While I was bored near the end of DQH1, I think the second one is the perfect length before the player gets bored with the (let's face it same-ish combat.
One complaint which I have is dumb party AI. I'm not expecting them to perform advanced combos or parry attacks, but healing me when I lose almost half of HP would be great. Also if they actually attacked most of the time and not just used their buffs/debuffs and run around, most fights would be over much faster.

Didn't even notice the video was part of a series. :lol.
@the new video:
Hm, really not sure anymore about this game.
It might be fun for a few hours (like the previous game). But everything seems so cutified. Though i never really was a game of the whole Dragon Quest series.
