The only real 2 issues I have with this remake are, #1, didn't like the side quest. It gets to be a bit repetitive long and drawn out. #2, fighting system, although I agree it needed updates from the original 1997 system the special effects are to over the top and dosen't come across as natural. For example, when cloud slashes there are so many special effects going on it looks more like fireworks instead of actual battle. Other then this the game is beautiful.
