Good, but a bit unsatisfying in some way I can't quite put my finger on - both story- and gameplay-wise. Of course the art is phenomenal, though it does occasionally feel like the game is padded to wring the absolute most out of the beautiful assets. The localization is also kind of weirdly bad in spots, which, given that this is a second pass at it, is unfortunate.

From what I understand, this remake is a massive improvement on the original, which sounds much less playable. But this is certainly that - playable. I had no problem pouring 40-ish hours into it and had a good time learning about these characters and the world from start to finish. Probably not going to stick in my mind to any real degree and I don't feel like I need any more of it, but it was a good enough time!
