This is a wonderful game; one of the most underrated in the entire franchise and a lot of fun to play. I would love to recommend it to newcomers, but this port is a mess. I have high hopes that the fans will eventually polish it into something playable, but in its current state it's almost unbearable. I'm fine with the new sprites and it's a joy to see such large Amano portraits, but there's an issue going on where literally none of the tilesets properly align. Every screen is an ugly visible gridwork of jumbled tiles. I don't ask for a lot when it comes to these lazy SE ports, but when even the shoddiest RPG Maker games look better, that's a problem. That SE released the game in this state is shameful.

If they address this issue themselves I'll give it a proper recommendation, but for now I'd advise anyone on the fence to pass.
