j/k
It's normal to feel like that, the game and it's mechanics, if only played for the first time in recent days, would feel quite outdated. Though back in the days it was pretty amazing, plus the story (if you know the backstory from Hideaki Sena's novel) is also superbly done.
Also, I don't know if you noticed that, but the system in PE was the precursor of Vagrant Story's system and it was one of the first free-moving combat systems that Squaresoft implemented into it's JRPG games. It's kinda of a shame that they didn't evolve it for PE2 and instead, went with the Resident Evil-esque scheme ._.
