I've played six chapters, and started on Near Future as the seventh. This version has sanded off the rough edges of the original and generally been an extremely solid improvement.

Sure, they made cigars into jerky, and removed some references to women's underwear. And humanity's first word is no longer Love... but also I got to tell a man I'd suck his mama's tits, so overall I heartily approve.

Oh, and the music. The glorious new takes on what were already some of the SNES's best tunes. The amount of sheer sax in some of them.
:discourse:

Just finishing Prehistory, but lol that they got Vegeta’s JP voice actor to play the smug dickhead rival character, perfect. There’s supposed to be super boss, right? Am I right in figuring that if I wither need to restart the chapter entirely or even if I can still fight it I might as well restart to have Beri with me?
No need to worry, all the secrets and the bonus boss are only available right before the final boss room's door.

I'd spout off more trivia, but I already soft-hijacked YappingEevee's old LP of the SNES version doing that.
Hey, pal. :haw: You added a lot of cool stuff, and surely improved the experience. And are still discovering neat secrets, it seems!

I ate an apple on a hot mic I didn't realize was picking it up during that stream at the end of the LP. No just God will forgive my sins. :negative:

Also I totally missed that Gibson was probably not referring to Mel Gibson (Maverick came out the same year as Live A Live and also was barely a western), but rather Hoot Gibson, an old western actor from the earliest days of the genre. So there's some Special Bonus Director's Cut trivia.
Given I managed to waste the first 40m of that stream due to forgetting to save and getting stomped, I think you're fine. :v:

Speaking of, I am rather annoyed the Switch disables screencaps for the end of the Middle Ages chapter.

I am in the middle of the Final Chapter and with all the improvements letting it shine it feels simultaneously ahead of its time and of its time.
I'm partway through this myself, and I have to say that it was an extremely welcome change to have everyone bring their whole inventory with them, not just what they had equipped.

Yes, in the remake you get it all, whichever was really surprising. In the original it was definitely only what the lead character had equipped.
