Pros & Considerations

Continuity

Imported progress makes the quadrilogy feel like one long RPG split across discs.

Battles

Real-time combat rewards positioning and active skill use rather than menu-only decision making

Progression

Equipment and ability growth provide clear build goals across the campaign

Consider

Repetition: Environments and dungeon structure heavily reuse the first volume’s assets and systems.
