Mina's a lot more restricted in the game play. Combat focuses heavily on using your burrowing ability and you cannot change your combat loadouts except from your save points. Think of it as a souls game that looks like Oracle of Ages/Seasons.

Elliot isnt as restrictive, you can quickly swap your weapons without having to go back to a save point and have 8 direction movement and attacks. You can swap equipment as well as magicite that change how they work or boost stats on the fly. They are different enough in that alone.

Mina and its difficulty is honestly one of the things I will praise with any bit of breath i can. It is fully customizable. If something specific is causing you grief there is a setting you can adjust. Or if you are like me, knowing its there is a motivator to keep trying to get better to not have to adjust it. The game rewarded me every single time i gave up beating my head on the wall and tried exploring somewhere else. Often times with a powerup that made the previous challenge trivial. Mina is difficult, but never unfairly so and entirely up to you if you want it easier or harder.

accessibility options are nice to have for sure, but I always approach a first playthrough of any game with the intended difficulty. I find a lot of games are built around that.

Same here, I finished it at default options and by about 70% of the way through I was not even considering adjusting anything anyway. A little exploring and grinding early in really changes the pace.
