Pleasantly surprised they brought it back home after the slog of game that was 3, 4 is pretty tight and the ATB system is a lot of fun for its first tenure, its a bit janky however. There is rarely any indication of which party member will get their turn first and it can really fuck with you at times.
Unsure of the exact quantity of extra content included in this edition but its fairly different from the DS remake counterpart where this one is a lot more like the original title and doesn't set out to really change anything (Aside from obvious balance changes final boss no longer spams big bang in a weird pattern).
Though man if I had one complaint the weight system is garbage lol the idea is you're supposed to sell or discard your old Armor pieces but (and this is likely my fault) in the endgame you get so much shit from chests and drops that you're having to stop occasionally when on a looting spree to drop anything overall it adds very little to the experience and I don't really think back well on this inclusion. But yeah solid game.
