i have my nitpicks and prefer the original due to its faster game speed and the text being too slow (seriously guys its 2024), p much everything else is nitpicky like sound design and occasional dialogue changes

but i had the biggest grin on my face throughout the entire 32 hours i played, its beautiful, the battle mechanics are still as fun as ever, the remade soundtrack is (for the most part) a banger, its so faithful and felt like I was playing the original for the first time again as a kid, felt like a new yet extremely familiar take on ttyd, fitting for a remake

genuienly cant believe this exists, I dont think paper mario will ever be the same again but I am so happy i got to relive one of my all timers like this

(please nintendo make more of these im fucking begging you just make the game faster)
