A great remake of a solid, if somewhat basic, JRPG that's propped up by its hilarious writing and animation.
+ This is genuinely one of the funniest video games I've ever played. The charming writing, combined with its exaggerated slapstick animations, had me legitimately laughing out loud countless times.
+ The art style remains true to the SNES original whilst being both graphically impressive for the Switch and gorgeous in its own right.
+ THAT secret boss. I won't say anything more but definitely worth seeking out, particularly if you're a Final Fantasy fan.
- Even with the quality of life additions, combat feels dated and a little underdeveloped. Offensive abilities become obsolete in the last quarter of the game as your basic attacks are almost always stronger, which leads to combat feeling dull and slightly repetitive.
- Framerate dips occasionally pop up and are fairly noticeable when they do. Bowser's Keep is most egregious for this and, thankfully, the issue almost entirely cropped up in the overworld - only affecting two fights in the entire game.
