Didn't remember much about the original game even though I played it, but this remake is absolutely amazing.
The plot in this is pretty simple and straightforward, unlike its sequel, but this game really shines in its gameplay. They added so much QoL stuff from the laters entries plus some extra additions (like a dojo for Exp farming or the fact you can now see all of the entities onn the map) which, tho some may consider them to be ruining the experience, I thought they were great features in a genre that can easily become extremely infuriating for the dumbest reasons.
I initially thought the artstyle was ugly at first, but as time went on it grew on me and I now think it's on par with the great pixel art of the original games. Unfortunately, I know it's not a high budget game on the Switch, but there was some instances had HUGE lagging issues which extremely weird knowing what type of game this is. I also noticed huge input delays during the whole game so beware if you're allergic to that, and I know some people are.
The music is great too.
So overall I'd highly recommend this game, but still wait for a drop in price. Even though I loved it, $60 is way too much for this game. You can try out the demo version if you want but it didn't capture at all what the game was good at imo.

very much this. when i first used the dojo. i was confused and bummed out, but it's actually such an enormous improvement - the new dojo saves soooo much time spent grinding in the original game.
