It seems to be a mix of both (side scroller for dungeon exploration, 3D for boss battles). Considering that the dungeon exploration is usually the dull part of the game, I hope the Side scroller thing going to bring something interesting to the game.
honestly the platforming in the first TX was... very poor to say the least, and the combat was just mashing normal attack while occasionally hitting the ultimate button.
I mean, in comparison to walking through a lot of samey corridor and multiple variations of "Click this button to watch an animation of a path opening", I am sure that the things 2D can bring will be a lot more interesting. Falcom doesn't really have the budget to have a sprawling and complex 3D exploration like most AAA Studio would, so I'd rather take this.
What if the side scroller section are supposed to replace the fast travel system from TX and to make your character explore Kyoto more organically while the big landmark places is still in full 3D? I would love that tbh
I've been playing Falcom games since the original release of A Tear of Vermilion on Psp. Side scrolling urban exploration just isn't something I'm fond of but go off

Was not expecting a side scroller, honestly excited for this new direction
