14 of 71 sampled reviews raised it
This particular release has the art quality and CGs from the PSP release (not the GBA release), as well as a bunch of new quality of life features that make the game experience a lot more pleasant.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
10 of 71 sampled reviews raised it
Though there is plenty of combat, most of the areas you navigate through are fairly limited and only contain set encounters.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 71 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is equally memorable, weaving melodic themes that shift between serene, haunting, and triumphant as the story moves through its emotional peaks.
