Ironically, you saying E33 has Legend of Dragoon style timing attacks just bumped it to the top of my “how have I not gotten around to playing this yet” list. LoD is one of my top RPGs of all time, and we are either blessed or cursed that we have not gotten a remake of it.
Eh… even 26 years ago the gimmick wore thin by the time you reached disc 3. A major distinction between the two is E33 kind of lives and dies by how well you dodge and parry. Unless you specifically build your party with huge HP pools (making every fight a long slog) there are a lot of attacks that just one-shot if they connect. This means in addition to timing inputs for all your own attacks you have to learn input timings for bosses and countless trash mobs.
A lot of them do that Elden Ring thing where the animators can’t help but sprinkle in some feints to trip you up.
I found the feints way more annoying in E33 than in Elden Ring. In ER they’re mostly found in bosses, but in E33 they’re pretty much everywhere, so even trash mobs can be tedious

That sounds awesome~
The DLC just cranks it up to a million. For full goof fun - I mean, for the challenge.
