I will start out by saying this game is downright perfect. if you've played the original or not play this and I guarantee that you will love it. with that being said this is considered a complete remake not I repeat not a remaster. if this doesn't win game of the year I will be veryyyyy suprised!!! i am on chapter 9 and absolutely loveeee it and I'm not sure if the next parts will cost extra but I will buy them if so. I preordered this and it is worth everything penny plus some. it is a great game for final fantasy and RPG enthusiast
