What about it flopped? Sure a lot changed and there were less Musou modes but I kinda expected as much and didn't mind. There'll be XL as DLC soon anyway so it's not all bad. Personally I thought the graphics for that one were a bit sub-par. I first notice the limitless chain attacks. The charged attacks I did not like. I wasn't a big fan of the level up system but I admit it was something new. Characrers with new weapons. My fav. charactor is the dumb guy that wears a masks, I forgot his name. What made it even worse, my fav. character wasn't playable in story mode only freemode. After I realized that, I returned it and got my money back.
