I love the original. One of my favorite games ever. Is there any reason whatsoever to play the remake over it? If it just has a new layer of paint that doesn't do it for me. And the shitty localization would guarantee if I bought anything at all it would be the Japanese version.
No. There are a pair of lackluster new bosses, and now everything looks like paper (and is shiny for some reason.) those are the only selling points.
There's new music (which can be turned off) that isn't as good as the original sound track. Additional fast travel points are convenient but make an already fairly easy game even easier. Those are mixed bags that some people might enjoy.
Downsides: Localization nonsense, game runs at 30fps instead of 60 like the original, text can't be skipped or rewound, infinite continues in the pit to remove any challenge, partners recover with one HP after battle to remove even more challenge (and make danger strats even more busted.) And all the battle status/text stuff (Win, Level up, Bingo, etc.) goes way slower than it did on the GameCube version.
General consensus that you can just load an HD texture pack in dolphin and have a better experience.
Holy shit what??? How do they make a remake of a classic like that and fuck it up so badly? FPS cut in half from a game made 20 years ago? Infinite continues in the pit of 100 trials? That was like my final time spent in that game gathering a bunch of jelly ultras to attempt and beat that. Absolutely unbelievable. Localization bullshit, while annoying, isn't even as egregious as those other things you mentioned.
