Having played through and beaten this game many times on PSP, i can say, without a doubt, i have 0 gripes with this remake. Crisis Core was already my absolute favorite FF game, and being able to play on PC without a psp emultaor is so nice. The upgraded graphics are great, but i wouldn't have cared if they kept everything the same. I absolutely love the smoothness of the updated combat, and the addition of the Battle Stance was nice, even if i never used it. My favorite thing was how faithful to the original it was, with the clunky movements of all of the cutscenes being extremely charming to me, even with updated models. I didnt love Zack's new voice actor, but i didnt hate it as much as some others here. I did end up playing with Japanese audio, but thats more because i just enjoy hearing japanese more. All around, 10/10 game, 10/10 remaster.

Also, for anyone who has played the original, you can no longer steal in a mission then leave the mission, you wont keep the items. Unfortunate, but adds extra challenge imo.
