Definitely the comfiest way to play this game, with its plethora of QoL and boosters. Playing this actually made me think if I have it in me to beat the 3D remake nowadays. I'm curious to revisit it one day and check if I'm filtered these days.
The job system is a lot more primitive and raw that I remembered, with jobs serving more as puzzles than builds. The most infamous example being the Garuda boss fight, which pretty much requires a party of 4 dragoons, but there's also the Mini dungeons, the dividing enemies that require Dark Knight, one of the last bosses pretty much requires one Viking, etc etc...
Which makes the 3D version's mechanic of giving characters a buffer/cooldown for switching jobs much more stupid in hindsight.
And even in this version, with quick saves and stuff, the final dungeon gets exhausting. I can't believe I actually finished the 3D remake and its absolutely gauntlet of a final dungeon.
