The update 1.01 really improved the game and now it's a true remaster. Now every negative review is outdated. I hope everyone can enjoy this game one more time.
Despite a few framerate issues I thoroughly loved replaying through this masterpiece! I like the remastered soundtrack a lot. And the story, worlds and characters were all great to return to
A classic game that no RPG lover should miss.
My save data was corrupted back in 2001 so this was the best time ro give it another chance.
I loved it! The backgrounds could be betyer but the gameplay, story and music is as good as always
I guess I don't know how I feel about this game. Growing up, I loved it. It looked great on a CRT. Ran great on the ps1. Everything about this game was incredible.
Fast forward to 2022 and the hype for me at least was very real. I downloaded it immediately, started it up and my first thought was "they couldn't have at least cleaned up the FMVs?". My excitement dwindled a little bit but carried on. I start playing it and it's going alright, liking it for the most part...then I noticed **** there input lag? Why isn't it reading me pushing the x button to attack quicker? What's going on with this awful frame rate drop? My expectations of this game vanished. Do I still love the game? Yes. I'm playing on the ps5 so it's not like it's a 1st gen ps4 (even though it should run just fine on that too). But am I EXTREMELY disappointed that they couldn't at least clean up the FMVs and make sure the frame rate was steady and there was no input lag? Absolutely.
Pros - Nostalgia, soundtrack, great jrpg, story line
Cons - not cleaned up like I figured it would be, input lag like crazy, severe frame rate drops.
This is one of my top three J-RPGs. When I saw the announcement for this re-release I cried. This is how much it means to me. I was stoked about the new features even if they are barebones. I knew I was going to play this again and I knew I was going to complete all achievements. I owe that to this game. The only thing that could have soured my experience would be performance issues...
Low and behold they do that one thing. I cannot fathom how this got through. It's game breaking at its worst. Experience-ruining at its best. What did you do to my baby? 4/10 - below average.
(Without the performance issues - namely a stable 60 frame rate - it would have been a homerun.) 9/10 at least.
The low score reflects a bad cash grab port, trash performance on my PS4 and 5 even worse graphics that look like a tub of Vaseline was smeared allover the screen. This game was great back in the day but unfortunately even if this was a great port the core gameplay just doesn't hold up anymore. I'd personally avoid but if you must play use a PS1 or Emulation and you will have a much better experience.
