Nevermind just how many good classics are getting remastered for modern systems. I've been enjoying Tactics Ogre lately, with Final Fantasy Tactics to follow it.
The remasters always end up bastardizing something though. I've heard parts of the script for Tactics got butchered on the altar of the modern audience. Then again I still think it's heresy that releases other than the SNES version of Chrono Trigger changed tonics to potions, so my standards are a lot more stringent than most.
The FFT remaster toned down the purple prose from the PSP version? I know some oldfags love the janky translation of the PSX version, but it gets hard to read at times.
Yeah the translation and especially the voices are well done. It's been nothing but an improvement in my eyes and I say that as having hundreds of hours with the original.
I'd like one that had the janky translations, but with the clear mistranslations corrected.
Like, dragons aren't using elemental jewelery, "Bracelet" clearly was supposed to be "Breath" (dragons in old FFT used Fire Bracelet, Ice Bracelet, and Thunder Bracelet).
But at the same time, I prefer the old janky "Don't blame me, blame yourself, or god." to " 'tis thine faith that wrongs ye, not mineself".
Random, uninteresting add on here, but I learned the word heresy when I was a little kid from playing Tactics. So I think of that game every time I see or hear that word. Weird coincidence here.
Why are you even here? This is a gaming and gaming-related politics forum. What's the last video game you've even played? Do you even have anything to say about video games at all?

Granted I'm only on chapter 3 but so far most of what I've seen change has been undoing things the PSP version changed in the first place.

You don't play games, paid shill. Stop pretending.

The last thing I played? That would be Automobilista 2. I got into sim racing on PC after Xbox killed off Forza Motorsport unceremoniously.
If this is a video game forum, then we should doubly hate the Christcucks for trying to force ID to play GTA Online.
