Barring a few mini games that overstay their welcome, I had a good time with this.

Loved Remake so of course I’d love this. Though it’s largely consistent in terms of overall gameplay, it expands on the combat and streamlines the upgrade system.Though the side content can feel overwhelming if you’re trying to knock it all out like I did. I think this was just Square’s way of saying “Look, part 3 isn’t coming out for a while, so occupy yourself with all this until then.”
