This update to Final Fantasy Legend is (I believe) strictly visual and it looks fantastic. The colors are amazing and the simple splash screens they have added on entering new areas are evocative and pretty.

I don't think the base game is actually good enough to warrant playing through a second time, so I abandoned it after a few hours.

This is strictly the version to play over the original Game Boy release especially with a few quality of life changes that make things a bit smoother. You can see what your monsters will turn into when eating meat (making them much more usable) and a gallery of monsters makes things a bit more understandable. Simple features like automatic attack retargeting when your enemy dies make things flow a bit more smoothly as well.

My thoughts on the original release hold true here as well, however, but if you are going to play Final Fantasy Legend, just play this instead!
