I started twice on tactician. Needed a heal to get past the 1st encounter (at least without using items). Shadowblade and modified Inquisitor (water, fire, earth). I've taken Madora and Bairdotr, so I can try dual wands play vs both bows and dual daggers.
Loving it so far, not every encounter has extra opponents. There's a water resistant exploskeleton right where you'd expect one

Having a Blast. Loving the crafting UI enhancement.
How hard is the "Normal" difficulty? Is it challenging enough for a first run or does it become too easy halfway through the game like most RPGs?
If they didn't change the difficulty curve from the pre-EE version, it doesn't get easier halfway through like most RPGs. The pre-Cyseal stuff (the tutorial area) is the easiest part of the game and after that it really depends on your party build.
The game difficulty is more in how well you devise a plan to defeat the enemies (counter skill/immunity/resistance/positioning) than anything else. Which mean your skill selection (aka party building) and combat tactics is really what define how difficulty something is going to be.
I personally suggest starting on normal for first time players.

In single-player mode the camera is proving more awkward to use, and it has a tendency to lose its focus on the characters and stay in one spot. Not exactly an improvement.
A couple of the new voice overs aren't of the greatest quality either, particularly the one for the talking sea shell. The old one was fine, so why did they replace it?
They've also made it nearly impossible to click on the rats, to the point where it isn't worth the bother trying.

I think that is a feature, from what I read in D:OS those poor rats were murdered plenty

They have a fantastically cute voice though (Pet Pal talent) which makes hunting them *) worthwhile all in itself.I think that is a feature, from what I read in D:OS those poor rats were murdered plenty
*) for a friendly chat, of course.

So far I'm quite happy with it ( just about done with first zone ). It's mostly the same with a few tweaks here and there. Story is a more comprehensible as promised.
The biggest annoyance left from the original is the vendor screen still sucks with the same problems: can't multi-character trade, only compares conversation starter not active party member's items, no repair all button.
And I'm sure it's an unintended consequence of consolization but the item tooltips are huge so after a half second when it goes to compare your items it pushes the tooltips all over the screen making quick glances impossible and a bit nauseating. I wish they had an independent slider for tooltip scale from the UI scale option.
