I don't know why they're setting this up as a professor simulator. With mild emphasis on combat and plot. This entire game has been rubbing me the wrong way. But I'll give it a fair shake when it's out. The game isn't visually looking too hot in battle scenes either. I'd boil it down to growing pains from 3DS to Wii U but this is Intelligent Systems...the same ones who did Paper Mario Color Splash which had no reason looking as great as it did on Wii U. I guess it can only go up from here.

This is completely speculation on my part, but I think that the reason is to make the avatar just a side part of the game. I could be completely wrong, but it seems like a big complaint from a lot of older fans is that the avatars take up too much of the main story. So the training/teaching part is where you get to use your OC to actually change the stats and efficiency of your warriors, but on missions the lords themselves will be the main focus. I could be wrong though. I do think they have shown fights where the teacher was in them but I think they were all mock fights.
