I've beat quite a few hard ass RPGs in my life, but I have to confess, I gave up Superstar Saga and Partners in Time because the last boss in both of these games kicked my ass pretty hard. The whole games are quite easy, and suddenly, an absurd peak in difficulty right at the end.
Actually I think I managed to beat one of these two but I don't remember which one.

I've noted a lot of the new sprites are quite expressionless compared to the original.
Bowser looked like trash in SS though. ugh
Other guys are alright for the most part.

Always good to see Luigi with his purple overalls.
that's one of the thing that put me off, too much expression from character, too much bigger eyes, i prefer the new version.

This is the third best game ever made and as close to a flawless game as I've ever played.

It looks so plain compared to the original.
It's much more in line with the original Japanese boxart.

One of the greatest RPGs of all time.

Which is keeping with the style of the previous game in the series:

Looks great! I think it should be a little cheaper but if the new stuff is fun and substantial then I don't have a problem
I can't hold all these Nintendo games I want

I wonder if the Geno cameo is still in the remake?

I really hope the battle system is expanded on somehow. Superstar Saga had the best overworld, characters, and writing, but the battles are a bit too simple compared to later games which have more characters.
If they improve the battle system, this could easily be the best in the series.
I have to admit though, I'd rather have seen a remake of Paper Mario.

Yeah, this is a shame. Mario and Luigi no longer dance to the beat when idle in battle, what should be a last hurrah for Alphadream pixel art feels more like release schedule filler. Especially when some enemy sprites look to be reused from Paper Jam Bros. A lot of returning main characters (Peach, Mario and Luigi, Bowser) have new sprites though due to the change in perspective in the overworld (the game's no longer in 3D, characters are now displayed from the side rather than a slight angle from the top).

I was wrong. THEY STILL DANCE.
I take back everything then, looking forward to playing the passport photos scene on the Koopa Cruiser.

You better be practicing your "new 3DS games... in 2018..." line because you're going to be using that too.

I still think the original Superstar Saga is the best Mario RPG, granted I never finished any of the Paper Mario games.
SS was just perfect. I loved the "Bros" gameplay. The babies and Bowser added feelings of bloat to the battle systems in subsequent entries. More characters aren't the solution to creating more interesting and intricate battles. Controlling two characters at once during combos and when on the defensive is a fun enough mechanic on its own.
Hopefully anyone who missed out before can have a fresh experience with the remake.

This looks like 60fps, the previous entries on the 3DS weren't 60fps I believe.

This one doesn't support the 3D feature for some reason.
