Dragon Fantasy Book I may not have been my favorite RPG ever but I could definitely appreciate what the developers were going for. Book II is hoping to move from a NES age inspired game to the times of SNES, while taking cues from best RPGs of the time, and it looks like they may have done just that.
The demo started with a sleeping Ogden dreaming of the best times. Not only was it set during his triumph over the dragon, but he had hair! The graphical improvements were obvious but soon the gameplay improvements from moving up a generation were clear as well. Monsters are now clearly on the map and avoidable, in similar fashion to Chrono Trigger (and with a battle system that's similar to that old gem as well). It's definitely turn based but positioning matters. If enemies are grouped up close enough you can use a spin attack, which is free and relatively weak, but which hits an area instead of just one monster. I also noticed that when Ogden came upon a weaker group of enemies he won instantaneously without a fight, just like in Earthbound, my personal favorite RPG of that era...
