This remaster just wants to be a total replacement of a game the developers at Bluepoint clearly think is already perfect. They change nothing. They improve on nothing. They dont even have the decent to make of the colossi worse. It's the same game. It's disgusting. It's a replacement.
They're never gonna replace the Mona Lisa with a version that has more defined hair, detailed skin textures, and no artistic liberties because clearly the background of the Mona Lisa would look better if it resembled a photograph. That's what this game is. I hate it.

The game is fine and all but the real star was the Pokken Pad. Please everybody buy a Pokken Pad. It's the best NES/SNES controller out there. The D-pad feels so good. It ain't clickity clack but it's perfect otherwise. The shoulder buttons are BIG. I never I realized I wanted shoulder buttons to be big before but now it seems like a decades long mistake finally corrected!
Get the Pokken Pad, get Pokken Tournament (it's good!), play all the NES/SNES games on the Switch with the Pad, and finally play FFVII with the Pad.

Caius is probably the best villain this series has had since VII. If only because the Hamlet wannabe is always on your ass like a good Final Fantasy villain ought to be.
It's over the top, indulgent, festive fantasy drama with incredible costumes and locals that had a lot of work put into then. Three of the characters are from a future where the world is basically over and there are literally only those three humans left in existence living in barren wasteland desert. Despite this all three dress like royalty from a healthy, opulent kingdom and wield ornate swords larger than their torsos. So just chill out I guess. Collect monsters, level up your jobs, read the insane datalogs to learn the centuries long story of Gogmagogs travels through the Rift Between Eras.
The final boss is a bunch of bullshit.

This game really makes you FEEL like a pissed off stupid teenager.
Also it's real good. Its everything you liked about The Last of Us but better. Improved stealth AI around enemies, improved stealth options with the prone and silencer. Its not MGSV but as a linear story driven action game it's one of the best ones out there.
And that beautiful UI. Dark Mode baby! Dark Mode! Seriously this has one of the most pleasing and clean looking UIs out there and combined with the audio cues it makes for a pretty welcoming and well considered presentations in western AAA gaming. Theres as much care for the player here as in a Dragon Quest.

Cool thing about emulation is getting all the GBA games and finding something you forgot you even once owned and going "oh yea I knew everything about this game"
Its also scary how a game I learned back to front over like 2 years just completely left my memory. It makes me belive that there are definitely entire childhood friendships I have completely forgotten as well.
