I think youre somewhat forgetting that this game is made by Level 5. The beginning of the game will probably fairly old school (or , repetitive as you feel it will be, I like old school RPGs though ;)), but I think Level 5 has what it takes to make an engaging battle / leveling system. Im looking forward to the Japanese release and will be more and interested to read more about it, Its getting released in January if Im correct :).
Personally I think Im really looking forward to it.
