5 hours in and this is already much better than the original

Already alot more interactions (I really like the demon haunt, it's the little things like that, that make the game more memorable IMO)

The new features fit in perfectly, more specifically the QoL improvements (mostly saving on the spot and auto-battle) make the game insanely smooth to play

Not trapped on the switch so it consistently looks great, new tracks are pretty good so far

But again it's only 5 hours and I don't have super high expectations (mostly of the new story), so i'll see what happens - could either get better or get worse. At least the non main story stuff feels good atm.
