Are there health potions and speed potions etc like in the Stick of Truth?

[Mighty Eagle]

I understand there aren't weapons or armor like in the first game, but are there health potions and speed potions etc like in The Stick of Truth?

Also, is the combat much more grindy or is it enjoyable?

haven't beaten the game yet, but there are health potions, antidotes (removes status effects and adds slight health regen next turn), and revive potions. There are also some special abilities you gain throughout the game that lets you move out of turn and some other effects.

The combat is a little grindy but I think the game does a decent job of giving you new abilities (and new enemy abilities) and letting you mix up your class to keep it from getting unbearable. You can get some decent strategy going with the position system (ex. some characters do charge attacks and others can drag them back to safety and heal them) but from playing on the normal difficulty it might be a little too easy and you can probably plow through most battles without trying too hard.
