there's chapters where the objective marker is extremely welcome, but i can't help but feel it loses something in this one. in the SFC version the dialogue nudging you towards paying respects to your pupils followed by a general loss of direction works really well with the mood, compared to the remake still having the same dialogue but the objective marker explicitly leading you away from the graves

also, lei being the only pupil to get a special scene of being faint after training kinda shows the game being 30 years old with the gender ideas that come with that. you'd think the bandit would have more stamina than the level 1 pickpocket, or maybe that there'd also be extra scenes of hong and yun struggling with speed and strength training respectively, but nope
