    Final Fantasy 7 OG with HD textures and Echo-S mod (full voice acting).

    It is a much better game than the so-called remake.

        I don’t think the remake is a bad game, but I enjoy the original better because:

        • I prefer the original ATB combat better than the remake’s action hybrid
        • The original has much better pacing, the remake has a lot of padding
        • The original feels more open for exploration, while the remake feels very linear
        • The remake added some nonsensical story

          I feel like what they did to FF7 is what they’d do if they ever remade Chrono Trigger, and that’s why I’m pretty against a remake of that one.

            I am hoping that the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D remake will sell well, so Square-Enix will remake Chrono Trigger in the same style.

              That’s one of the few HD2D that looks good to me. In my opinion, Octopath is way too dark, sepia toned, and saturated. It’s not a very pretty game in my eyes. In Star Ocean and Live A Live, the characters don’t look like they fit in the world; the difference between the 3D environments and the pixel characters is too stark. But I’m quite interested in DQ3.
