Yeah, they haven't really updated this game to make it better than release...

What were the issues? Would you not recommend? Never played the original.

You don't really play with a caravan of friends, it's more like you have a caravan and you can join other people. The original had it so you go on an adventure together, but this version isn't like that. There's fun to be had, but it's not like the original. It doesn't capture the magic of the first game as a remake, because of the way they implemented online. Also if you play with friends, only the host makes story progress with the chalice or letters from family. Having played the original it was disappointing. If you haven't played the original, maybe watch some reviews to see if it's up your alley.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I really wanted to play the original but didn't have a GameCube. I'll look into it a bit more but likely will pass

Play the demo

You'll be glad you did, and then didn't buy the game

FWIW the mobile versions are also on sale

Can also take a look for 5 minutes at the ffcc reddit and you'll run in terror from this game

Original was pretty bad in my opinion. Just find cure magic on any level and you're invincible. Not FF worthy.

Only online. They ruined what made this game fun.

I loved the original. This one is awful. The voice acting is terrible and the load times are PAINFUL. Trust me, you'll go insane with load times in this game.

Disappointing remake from the reviews. I absolutely loved the original and playing with friends. I had hopes they would make it online multiplayer fully and multiple options to join randoms, etc. Sadly Nintendo has failed to capitalize on the online gaming experience and they have a strong catalog of older games they could cater to. sad. /rant
