I played so2r this weekend about 12 hours. I also played the original on the ps1 back in the day.
It does feel like so2, story is the same music great and famillar. The basics are all there.
The new stuff, Shields on enemies, sp bp split, are welcome. The new graphics are great and really look retro and good. There are several qol improvements, mostly about telling more about skills. I really did love those.
What dont i like. Well the battles have so many effects coveting up enemies it hard to tell whats going on at times. Also spells not stopping means the battles always have a supet fast pace to them.
Its great overall not perfect
Sound good for the game if someone that played the old game likes it. I haven’t played the original so2, but on so1, i didn’t like it that the spells stoped the game. The so2r approach feels better for me.
