I decided not to do 1.5 before playing this in the end. KHI is good and all just... I only have a few days of holiday before work starts again! Gotta make 'em count.

Really impressed with the job they've done so far. The extra scenes from Final Mix are cool, the HD upscale is very nicely done, and the remastered soundtrack is great. They've replaced so many of the cheap sounding pieces from the original with really high quality arrangements.

Although I was playing Dark Souls yesterday so it's still really weird not having a 'roll' button.
