The timeless RPG classic returns loaded with upgrades! Journey to the forgotten past, to the far future, and to the end of time. A big adventure to save the planet, now begins…...
I count myself among the SNES loyalists so I wasn’t a fan of the cutscenes either when I played the DS version. They feel so clunky and forced when shoved into an SNES-era game.
The best example happened in the middle of the game (no spoilers). There’s a pivotal scene featuring a character who unlocks the true potential of their weapon. The original features some quaint Mode 7 flashing lights with a music swell, but I always liked the moment.
Cue the modern version. Right before that big moment, the screen goes black. Now there’s a bit-crunched PS1-era FMV playing that shows the whole scene. Screen goes back to the game. Now we get to watch the entire scene again with in-game graphics.
They feel weird. I’m an old man now who likes to complain. I would just download the ROM to play on the PC. I also have to recognize that people don’t want to do that and it all amounts to personal opinion.
I played it on SNES so I’ve never seen the FMVs. I’d actually love to see them without also having to miss out on the classic sequence. I think the FMVs actually might justify buying the discounted port of the player wants them.
