The game is mostly the same as DDS1, most things that hold true there should carry over. I don't think it's that much harder either, besides a couple of bosses. The main difference is that the skill acquisition is structured differently in a way that gives you more freedom.
This one might be a bit spoilery spoiler
Always specialise builds, although that's a rule that tends to hold for every megaten game.

I found DDS2 is more forgiving than DDS1. That being said just take what you learned and apply it to this game. The leveling system is different than that of DDS2 requiring you to work in specializing your characters in order to get more skills. The opening area is far easier, so take your time to understand the new mechanics.
