Ys II is a lot better than the first game, but that's a weird case where the sequel is basically just the second half of one thing, to the point where it's generally always sold as Ys I&II.

MegaMan 2 is the first good one, but 3 is the best.

Are there any other 3rd games that are the peak of the series? Usually that's the worst one.

E: Mario 3 is also the best one in it's series

Can't take it out if they don't make it up to that point in the first place.

FFVII remake will be a gripping tale of how they took out that one reactor and then cloud died after airbuster, the end.

I honestly don't see them taking it out (assuming the remake even gets that far)

Replaying it, that section is interesting because some of it is obviously treated as a joke. But them some of it isn't treated as a joke at all?? I think probably the worst thing in that whole section isn't any of the cross dressing stuff. It's the weird gay orgy sort of rapey scene if you go into the "group room" in the Honeybee Inn. If they take anything out I bet they'll remove that specifically

Hmm

I'm not entirely sure. They're both time management games but I feel like Hercules is more about "how do I find the most efficient way to route from point A to point B while accomplishing all of my goals" while Heart's Medicine and its like are more along the lines of "you are placed into a room for a set amount of time and tasked with taking care of people as they come in while optionally fulfilling a challenge or two along the way." Unfortunately there isn't a demo on steam. You should be able to find a demo on the dev's website here but that requires installing their player and I understand someone not wanting to do that. I suggest looking up a random level on youtube. Or if you don't mind just getting a refund, drop 5 dollars on the game and if it isn't for you, refund it. I'm sorry I can't help any further than that :(
