I’ve not yet touched it. But since you mentioned it: How does leveling now work? And more importantly, how does enemy scaling work?
If I remember correctly, in the original, I felt strongest when I got Umbra at Lv 1 and just never levelled up.
Furthermore, how are the character animations? I saw the Emperor in the Remake and while the model was quite nice, in combination with his facial animations, I actually preferred the original. What I assume to be the original animations paird with updated models seemed too uncanny. However, that problem could be specific to him.
For the most part, the story is nothing to write home about and it’s not exactly the most beautiful game out there. However, I think the mechanics are great - I did enjoy my time with BD2 a lot and would recommend it.
That being said, if you don’t enjoy the gameplay, it won’t change that much. You just get more classes.
