Today is actually Ni no Kuni 2 preview day - the press had about 4 hours of hands on time with Chapter 3 and 4 which includes the overworld, new dungeons, a new boss fight and showcases the revamped battle system (even more revamped then before), the Kingdom Builder Mode, and the Skirmishes. Feast your eyes on all this coverage!

In short: the battle system kicks ass and is much improved over the first game and even more improved from earlier previews. You can control every character and switch between them during combat, like the first game, and the AI of your companions is much improved. Every character now has a melee and ranged attack, every character can have multiple weapons equipped. Every weapon has a "Zing" meter which improves combat abilities based on how full of Zing it has. They showed off the new Tactics Tweaker which allows the player to fully customize their gameplay experience (enhance experience vs gold, do more damage against certain monsters, etc). Playstation Lifestyle also mentioned there are Dark Cloud style randomized optional dungeons in the game. Also, fast travel is unlocked right from the get go, while in Ni no Kuni 1 it took like 20 hours before you got a Teleportation spell.
There's a ton of new information.
Oh, and have a picture of Ni no Kuni 2's Map.
