I've been playing the GBA remake for a few hours now, and I've got to say it feels damn different from the SNES version. In a way, it feels almost as though I am playing ToD, with the ToP script dumped into it... but anyway, here's what I like and dislike about the GBA remake: LIKES - Sprites look much better as compared to SNES version - Battle system now features more basic strikes for example upwards slash - Sprinting - Diagonal movements on the world map - EVERYTHING IS IN ENGLISH! DISLIKES - The environment is too brightly coloured that it looks ugly - The game suffers from lag in some places - Battle screen is much slower than before (due to lag?) - The voice acting is utterly disgusting - The enemies are too bloody hard at the start (bees take 4-5 hits to kill, and bugbears can counterattack very quickly after they get hit!) I know that alexpenev attempted a run for the SNES version but it couldn't be accepted since it used DeJap's English Translation... but now that US version of ToP is released, would anyone be interested in doing it?

This will definitely be entertaining even for an RPG since the battles are quite active.

Another difference is that the GBA version is notably easier than the SNES one after the beginning part..the last boss changes also. I know this game someone well, after having played through it once on SNES and twice on GBA. I'm considering attempting it once my FF1 DoS is finished (it's on hold at the moment).
