Just got done watching it myself.

The loss of some moves is expected. Lance losing the Counter Thrust doesn't seem like much to me(though I don't use the Couter anyway).

Sorry if this was mentioned previously(I only check in on new info every now and then), I like that the Barrel gauge charging at a decent passive rate(35~40 seconds per barrel use). It helps to increase the number of times you can use the barrel, which means more buffs for yourself or others, as well as being able to stack up and use multiple barrel bazooka's in quick sucession.

BTL Astalos looked awesome & overall it's looking like an actually fun Deviant to fight.

Lastly, originally I thought the Beast Prowler would only deal raw damage with it's attacks, but it's nice to see they still do elemental and likely can apply Status' as well.
