LOT1 had many amazing boss fights (Youmu, Eientei, Alice, Yukari, Rinnosuke etc.) while I felt LOT2 had way fewer interesting boss fights overall. With all that said, I do think that the focus on party building definitely came at the expense of the bosses. If you’re really willing to sub-class and customize, you can probably even get away with just running a party of your favorite characters. For all but the hardest story fights, there are lots of different ways to approach the bosses. The more open-ended approach to party building is just the best. Here are my unorganized thoughts about the game in bullet points: Gameplay I had a bigger post planned but I’m just too busy with uni crap at the moment.
Tl dr it’s a shorter, easier and rather different game, but it’s still a worthy sequel to Labyrinth of Touhou 1
