This game sucks so much fucking ass, I'm not gonna wrangle any friends to play something this mid, regardless of version (this version makes multiplayer worse but that's irrelevant, neither version of the game is worthwhile).

It's fun to play a game from many years ago, but not having local co-op ultimately kills what could have been an amazing experience.
The cleaned-up visual presentation is nice, the bonuses are neat, and the game has aged kind of okay- however, the multiplayer in this version of the game is so poorly-implemented it's unforgivable, especially for a game designed with co-op multiplayer in mind. Truly a shame seeing as the original had its own design flaw being that GBA's were required for some stupid reason.
Wanna play with buddies on the couch? Too bad! Online only.
Wanna see otherworld events or explore towns with your buddies like in the original? Haha, tough shit.
Wanna play the whole adventure with a friend? Too fucking bad! Progress only updates for the host so you'd have to either just play through the whole game alone first or play through every fucking dungeon four times in a row.
Yeah- no, sorry but I'm not gonna fuck with a port that's multiplayer is actually a REGRESSION of the original.

i think this game changed me i'm not even joking
A wasted opportunity and one of the worst remasters Square Enix has ever produced. The multiplayer aspect (one of the fundamental parts of the game) has been completely screwed.
Just play the original on GameCube.

I adore the music, world, and art style of this game. I don’t love the repetitive gameplay. Maybe it works better as a co-op game.
Wish the online was a bit less laggy, but...
It's beautiful. You won't remember everyone you met in life, but you'll definitely remember some you have no idea why. Your life is important to the whole cycle.
I think maybe Chain of Memories drank from this drop of myrrh.
