Can anyone tell me if it's worth playing now, if you never played those games when they came out and don't feel nostalgia while playing them?

@nanoUFO @ISOmorph If you ever thought "what this JRPG needs to spice it up is to add a customizable deck of cards on top of it", then absolutely go for it!

Probably one of my all-time favorite RPG. It’s a good classic RPG with good graphics and music. The gameplay is good and unique as well, but I remember from my first playthrough back in the days that it took me some time to get used to it. The game is not easy at all (because 2/3 bosses in the game are very hard).

It’s important not to make a big pause when playing this game. The gameplay starts slow and becomes very fast at some point. It is so unique that, if you stop and play again after a month or so, you will likely have a hard time to become fast enough again (when I played it for the 1st time when I was young, I did this mistake and had to start the game from the beginning).

I can’t comment about the 2nd game because I never played it.

I bought the original on GCN back in the day because I was attracted to the fantastic design. I had never seen a card-battler before and was really caught off card when I actually started playing. That said, I ended up really enjoying it and have been wanting a remake ever since iPads became a thing.

I think card battler games have come a long way since then, but it’s not bad after you learn it. And it’s nice to have a long, storied RPG to play instead of just rogue likes.

This was one of those games with prerendered backgrounds and polygon based foregrounds/props like Resident Evil 1 - 3, Final Fantasy VII - IX, etc.

When I emulated the gamecube version I had to lock it to 640x480 or the 2D/3D elements were clearly running on different layers.

How did the remaster turn out?
