What's the difference between this and the original?

And why should I pay $20 for a game I already own?

its basically a PROPER HD edition of the game. So unlike the original trelease this has proper 1080 support and IS actually full screen unlike the original which had those awful boarders.

The sprites are also proper HD this time rather than the pixel mess they originally were.

However the english voices are STILL missing

I read that you can't allocate stats freely and you get a set stat level up in this version, which is why I didn't buy the game.

Yes, EX version does not allow to add stats per level as old version do. So it add better graphics but make back step in more important field - the gameplay.

Btw. the graphics is better but still it have pixels. It is still bad.

Stats progression isn't really gameplay per se. "Gameplay" = in-game combat and action. Stats are more like limiters to player progression -- in place to make players feel like they're "earning" something, and to pad out game completion time.

You have access to a lot more playable characters in the Ex version though, do you not? Also, characters you are not actively playign get 50% of the XP so yu don't have to grind them all up individually.
