This Switch version of the game is a perfectly fine one to play, and easy to recommend. Played it to get refreshed on a game I've loved since it came out in '97 and played so much with my friend that our eyes bled. It's ambitious, creative, unique, and odd in ways that we've rarely seen in the world of video games. Even though it was surpassed by VIII from a technical standpoint soon after, and further by IX in the realm of visuals, character development, and storytelling, it has stood the test of time on the strengths of its plot, characters, and just being cool as hell.

Part of my reason for a replay was to be prepared to finally get around to the Remake, but all I could think about while playing was how the game doesn't need remaking at all, it's so engaging and approachable right away.
