Wished more remakes had this much care and purpose. By "care" I mean doing smart and tasteful changes while keeping the original intent the same. And "purpose" since, being real, some games really don't need a remake. If it's a carbon copy of the original, that's still readily available, then a port would be more then enough (assuming the port is well done and not overpriced). Experiencing this for the first time after hearing much praise for its dedicated fan base was really exciting, and what do you know it's great just like they've said. Definitely different from the usual 90's RPGs, both in gameplay and especially the story and it's structure. Any fan of JRPGs should play this, try the demo even if you aren't sold yet.

EDIT: How in the hell did I forget to mention the music? It's a serious contender for the best RPG soundtrack. Megalomania alone is absolutely immaculate.
