    The Japanese version was released on December 20. There hasn't been a date announced for an American release yet, but Nintendo Power--and conventional wisdom--claim it's forthcoming.

    I didn't realise it was actually possible to get the dark crystal early so that was news to me.

    The changes seem pretty decent on the whole. Obviously some are going to be more obvious than others (I mean, does controlling Cecil in the opening battle matter a great deal really?). On the whole, I don't have any real objections to them.
    Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.

    How far along have you played into it anyway, Kishi?

    Ah. Did they make it challenging this time around?

    All the way. I beat it a few days after its release.

    These actually aren't new "magic spells," but rather possible functions of the "twin" command through certain character combinations.

    Twin magic is still magic! It costs MP and everything.

    Yeah, but if I read that before having played the game I'd assume it just meant new normally casted spells. Twin magic is a hassle and a half.

    There are a few things I'm annoyed about, though I found something that isn't a new feature.

    Elixirs can now be bought (from hummingways).
    Isn't there a Hummingway Cave on the Moon that allows you to buy Elixirs?

    Anyway, I'll post what I'm annoyed about later. Right now, I'm tired.

    Yeah, you could always buy Elixirs, but their price has been slashed from 100,000 gil to 50,000 in the remake. The Hummingway dealer also now supplies X-Potions for 3000, Remedies for 500, and Alarms for 3000.

    Many shop inventories were altered for the remake, actually.

    I'm mostly looking forward to story changes. I've read somewhere that plot parts that were left out in the SNES version will now be restored, so I'm like *_* .

    I don't know a lick of Japanese, but I know the original like the back of my hand. As far as I could tell there was only one extra scene in the entire game. If there was anything else added it would have to be additional/changed dialog.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    What's your judgement on it, Kishi?

    How does the Decant Ability System work for the Twin Command? Do you have to set it to two players with MP? Furthermore, does anyone know why all characters except Cid naturally gain MP? I would assume that the temporary characters have no way of expending MP.
    I believe in the power of humanity.
