Spoiler
Quite a lot! -custom sprites/faces for the seven main characters (some are just recolorings, some are more dramatic changes) -mapping has been redone in several areas -Animated battlebacks -Animated battlers -multiple fogs -new battle menu -new general menu -new cutscenes and additional dialogue -a brand new dungeon-puzzle thing -encounter rates are more reasonable -enemies (including bosses) are more ballanced -twice as many enemytypes and twice as many troups in a given area -two songs have been updated slightly -four new superbosses hidden in the secret dungeons (the four towers) which can be accessed after that fateful wish.

Story
Spoiler
With several major plot twists occurring throughout the progression of the 25+ hour story, what at first seems like a cliche good vs. evil quest unfolds into something much more unique. You will have to play the game to discover its surprising ending.
You are your ordinary self from our ordinary world, but one morning you awaken in a tower in a magical pre-Renaissance island kingdom. You discover you are part of an ancient prophecy and must help the recently returned prince conquer the source of evil that has overrun the land.
But all is not as it seems...
On your journey you will discover bit by bit that the quest you were sent on is more complicated and more full of intrigue than you could have imagined.
Characters
Spoiler
Tyrin: You. Not some pre-existing character, but actually you, the person reading this now. Tyrin is not your real name of course, but that's what people call you in this new Land of Lorewyn. Of course, you had little if any experience in swordplay in our world, but on waking in Lorewyn you find yourself exceedingly skilled. Mia says that this is because you've been magically blessed with a magical Ability called Swordplay within Lorewyn. As you level up, you will learn "skills" related to Swordplay.
Mia: an Elemantal Mage who was assigned to Tyrin Tower. She's bubbly and nice and fresh from training, so is eager to prove herself and her magic.
Baeon: the prince of Lorewyn. There are several strange facts about him. Firstly, no one knew Lorewyn had a prince. But the king reveals that Baeon's mother had concealed her pregnancy and ran away to birth him in secrecy. Unfortunately, Baeon was found unconscious today, remembering nothing of his past. His Ability is vast Strength. But this is useless to him as he is completely unskilled in weaponry. He's much more interested in spell casting, but lacks proficiency in anything but curative magic.
Sylar: a young man from a noble family. His sister Sylea is thought to have been abducted by Radasol. Sylar was too lazy and disinterested in training in weaponry or magic, so his quest in finding and freeing his sister is proving difficult.
Yasian: an old, forgetful mage who might turn out to be none of those things.
Sylea: a very skilled archer from a noble family with super eyesight as her Ability. She and her brother have more in common than either knew and will enjoy.

I'm not sure how much to give away. There are two major plot twists that would ruin the story for anyone who would eventually want to play it. Would you want to watch Sixth Sense for the first time if you had read about that plot twist ahead of time? So I won't tell you the plot twists, but just the superficial front of the story.
The main character is an ordinary guy from our world, but one morning he awakens in a tower in a magical pre-Renaissance island kingdom. He discovers he is part of a prophecy and is to help the recently returned prince conquer the source of evil that has overrun the land.
But all is not as it seems. On their journey they discover bit by bit that the quest they are on is more complicated and more full of intrigue than they could have imagined. Are they who the people tell them they are? Are they even where they seem to be? The ending will be a shock and a surprise.
Want an inkling of the plot twists? Want to ruin the story for yourself? Be warned. Don't click below.
Tyrin: (age unknown) from our world. Tyrin is not his real name, but that's what people call him here. He had little experience in swordplay in our world, but on waking in Lorewyn is exceedingly skilled. Mia says that this is because Swordplay is his Ability. He's contemporary and sarcastic and is pretty sure this is all just a dream. As he levels up, he learns "skills" related to Swordplay.
Mia: (early twenties) an Elemantal Mage who was assigned to Tyrin's Tower. She's bubbly and nice and fresh from training, so is eager to prove herself and her magic.
Baeon: (age unknown) the prince of Lorewyn. There are several strange facts about him. Firstly, no one knew Lorewyn had a prince. But the king reveals that Baeon's mother had concealed her pregnancy and ran away to birth him in secrecy. Unfortunately, Baeon was found unconscious today, remembering nothing of his past. His Ability is vast Strength. But this is useless to him as he is completely unskilled in weaponry. He's much more interested in spell casting, but lacks proficiency in anything but basic curative magic.
Syler: (early twenties) a young man from a noble family. His sister Sylea is thought to have been abducted by Radasol. He was too lazy and disintersted in training in weaponry or magic, so his quest in finding and freeing his sister is proving difficult.
Yasian: (quite elderly) an old forgetful mage who might turn out to be none of those things.
Sylea: (early twenties) a very skilled archer from a noble family with super eyesight as her Ability. She and her brother have more in common than either knew and will enjoy.
