What players say
Now when I say I recommend this, I don't mean to new people who've never even heard of it. If I am completely honest with everyone, there's better out there in terms of RPGs, but for someone like me who played the original, this is a swan song and I love everything about it. I love how it feels in comparison to the original, I love the new art style and I'm enjoying the story thus far. Problems with the game: ...

I would play it since I am very nostalgic thowards the old games and we are not getting anything else.
This isn't quite what I remember from back in the day, it feels like a remake of the old game I used to play on Y8. It looks cleaner and is much easier than the original version from my childhood. It's mid, if you want the exact nostalgic experience, I'd recommend looking for the Legacy version on Steam instead.
