Listen, this game sticks to my heartstrings like peanut butter, and my nostalgia goggles are forever strapped on tight. Prep yourself for terrible dub voices, mega-cringe humor at every female characters' expense, and jarring lyrical revisions (but was it needed? was it, truly??).

Nonetheless, it has been 5 months since finishing my playthrough on the PSP, and I love it all the same. The updated look was fresh, and the retuning of dungeon mechanics were a welcome addition for me, who craved a simple cozy game to play during a hectic year. Despite all of its failings, this game allowed me to revisit a charming childhood classic, filling that anime-vibes-only, jrpg-sized place in my heart.
