The cleaned-up visual presentation is nice, the bonuses are neat, and the game has aged kind of okay- however, the multiplayer in this version of the game is so poorly-implemented it's unforgivable, especially for a game designed with co-op multiplayer in mind. Truly a shame seeing as the original had its own design flaw being that GBA's were required for some stupid reason.

Wanna play with buddies on the couch? Too bad! Online only.

Wanna see otherworld events or explore towns with your buddies like in the original? Haha, tough shit.

Wanna play the whole adventure with a friend? Too fucking bad! Progress only updates for the host so you'd have to either just play through the whole game alone first or play through every fucking dungeon four times in a row.

Yeah- no, sorry but I'm not gonna fuck with a port that's multiplayer is actually a REGRESSION of the original.
