Dinsun Review
Dinsun here. It's a miracle we finally got this game in the West. This remake is colorful and the combat is snappy enough. However, the English voice acting is nearly unbearable—I recommend switching to Japanese immediately. The world feels a bit static, and the AI for your companions is dim-witted at best. It's a solid weekend play, but don't expect the depth of a modern blockbuster.
