    Why wouldn’t you want more of what you love?

    …it’s not the game that I loved, not even close. I bought the first remake, got to the first boss, and uninstalled.

    Square are dead to me.

      The game you loved still exists, and the new ones let you spend a little more time in the world, fleshing out little moments from the original and lingering on them longer and giving these characters’ relationships time to actually breathe and grow more naturally.

      I’m sorry it didn’t grab you from the first 15 minutes, you truly are missing out on some awesome moments and gameplay in my opinion. Obviously the latter being mostly subjective, but I do objectively think it’s the best action/ATB system that could’ve ever been implemented.

        I never said the original ceased to exist, or complained about it, I said I don’t like the remake.

        The battle system is obviously the very first thing that made me dislike it so I very much disagree that your opinion is objectively true.

          I subjectively like it.

          I objectively think it’s the best that could’ve been implemented for what it is, it being a blend of real-time combat but with the strategy of classic ATB turn based combat.
