The PS2 version will always have a special place in my heart, but the PS4 version is just as good.

The only drawback, no cheating available on PS4. On my3rd/4th playthrough on PS2, an action replay cartridge would help to keep me entertained with some fun cheats.

That said, I have not missed them on PS4. The experience is mostly as I remember, just seems easier. For example:

(SPOILER)The first blitzball game on PS2 was very hard, nigh on impossible to beat, and would take numerous resets even with Jecht Shot as far too much luck was involved. I would at most win by 1 or 2 goals on the very best and luckiest of runs.

On PS4, after not playing this game for around 4/5 years, I beat the Luca Goers 4-0. It was 2-0 at half time and then subsequently I scored 2 more. From this I can only surmise that they have rebalanced some things/made them easier so as not to alienate newer players?? I would never have won this game 4-0 on PS2!!!
