Decided to replay the game and 100% it, this time on console (PS5). Graphical fidelity aside, the game still holds up, I still love the game and 100%ing this time was insanely fun. Although most of it was thanks to the version benefits of the speed up and the infinite hp/mp/limit break thing, it was still fun and I didn't mind ploughing through the game in preparation for rebirth. I still hold this up as one of my favorite games ever made, and I wish everyone would experience this on their own terms rather than some who might only want to go through the remake saga.
