Lovingly crafted remake of a classic Super Nintendo RPG. Honestly, I am loving that Nintendo is doing these types of remakes of old properties, following up on Link's Awakening. I will gladly play modernized remakes of virtually any SNES game. There are a few I'm sure we can all name.
As for Super Mario RPG, it's a faithful remake with tons of great quality of life improvements. Some tweaked gameplay elements make the game more exciting, and more challenging. Trying to get the timing right added a fun, unique, battle challenge that even upped the ante on simple fights you are guaranteed to win.
As far as RPGs go, this game is fairly linear and exploration is kept to a minimum, however coming off of my 48 hours of Final Fantasy 16 playtime, I was happy to have a game that took me less than 20 hours to finish.
There are some elements of the game that don't translate to a modern style of gaming, the turn based combat is a formula we don't get much of these days. It still works charmingly, but it can be very repetitive.
Overall I really enjoyed my time with this game.
