Okay, so I played this finally, and I have to say, WHAT THE HELL!? WHY AM I HAVING PROBLEMS AGAINST FUCKING GOBLINS!?
Anyway, yeah, they certainly improved on the difficulty on this game to an extreme, maybe its because I rushed through the first dungeon like I usually did in the SNES/PSX versions, but I didn't expect the enemies to get a major improvement, bosses maybe, but the enemies c'mon, that's overkill!
I am pleased they gave some of the characters more usefulness this time around, like Edward, he's not fucking useless anymore, he's just crappy now! The graphics are great, its equal to FFIII in terms of that. The music mneh, you hear the Dreadful Battle once, you hear it millions of other times. And gameplay, they certainly improved a lot from the original, like the Augments; those are pretty good I dare say. The voice acting in this game is incredible, I can't wait to hear some of my other favorite characters in the game!
All in all, I give this game a 3 Jay-Thumbsup out of 5.
I had high hopes for the game, but it dropped due to many reasons, I'll play it once and not touch it again after beating it, the enemies in the game piss me off too much, once I get Paladin form, then it'll be fun times.
