The one with Thancred in ShB was painful to get through, IMO. It was too long, too many different parts involving the same guy, and just honestly a terrible experience.

However the one I've experienced in the very beginning of EW was quite fun! I thought they were better spaced-out and I kind of liked experiencing the different jobs at a much more palatable level of difficulty to get a taste for how it might look/feel to play without going through with leveling one myself. Thumbs up for this iteration of body-swapping.
