Comparative performance claims like “faster” are completely meaningless without figures, or even a point of comparison.

Great news! Now remove denuvo and undisable family sharing, and I’ll remove Ubisoft from my no-buy list

Honestly, the original still holds up today, you just need to emulate it so you can get the best version of the game. The mods required to get it playable on PC nowadays are honestly not worth the effort. Also the graphics look stranger and more dated than they did originally due to different display technologies and vastly higher resolution displays these days. And, last time I checked, there’s no way to get the original font back, which genuinely makes a massive difference.

You’re going to deal with some clumsy mistranslations but it’s not such a big deal in my opinion.

There’s also a real remake on mobile called Ever Crisis, but I haven’t tried it so no opinion on that.
