I'm really happy for Odin Sphere. So far it's been getting stellar reviews looking at Metacritic and I think it really deserves a second chance to shine. I only happened to play the first act in the PS2 original*, but comparing to the latest demo they really did a wonderful job with the visuals (looks as if it was always meant to be HD), widescreen FOV and ironed-out interface helps make gameplay less frustrating and combat indeed seems more fluid. I got it on PS4, couldn't resist that gorgeous storybook edition
, though I heard it's cross-save with the Vita, so who knows, maybe I'll get both eventually.
Btw. turned out they really picked an interesting release date for us Europeans, my decision to import from the UK on release day had some funny last-minute consequences
.
* I've always wanted to play this game, but didn't pick it up on release. Then I got carried away by the 7th generation and forgot about it. Oh and apparently I thought this and Grimgrimoire were the same game
. A year ago I thought enough was enough and I got both OS and Grimgrimoire on e-bay. Shortly after, they announced Leifthrasir. You can all thank me for murphy'ing the remaster into existence. You're welcome.
Unfortunately, it didn't work on Grimgrimoire

P.S. Oh and, uhm, hi guys
