After recently finishing the SNES Mario RPG for the first time getting to play the Remake months after was a solid experience. As a remake this might be one of the best out there, it's perfectly faithful and the new additions are all welcome and nice to have. But it does make the already easy game more easier to play, but in its defense the game was never trying to be this difficult RPG that required mastery of the player. It still lives up to its gateway beginner RPG nature that anyone can easily pick up and become a fan. So I understand why this was chosen to be remade, it can appeal to a wider market because the skill ceiling is so low.
Perfect for newcomers, but a fun return for veterans.
