It's alright; entertaining for an older RPG. I do dislike in this Pixel Remaster, there is no way of hiding your mouse cursor till game 5. Kinda sad that's not an option.

This game also had an issue if a monster-in-the-wild had the same name as a monster-in-a-box, you could not run away. Even though you are in the wild. Probably something to do with their coding? They just hard stopped you from running away from it. Pretty annoying if you were grinding for a specific monster.

They haven't quite figured out storytelling yet on this format since the game's size needed to be so small in OG FFII. There's a main antagonist but he's not explained well. He's just kinda there lol. You also constantly lose a fourth party member. Doesn't give you much time to bond with any of them.

The soundtrack is great though. Minus the Imperial Army track that always reminded me of Alfred Hitchcock's film, Psycho.
