    Looks good, basically the same gameplay as the first game but with updated graphics - which is exactly what I’m after. I like that you can stand on enemies instead of falling through them. The spell effects look really good, and I liked seeing an armoured caster.

    Hype!!! Classes look fun. Curious to see if fast travel is better this go around. But I also am not sure I want it. Half the fun was the random battles.

      From what they’ve shown fast travel is handled differently in this game. There are ox-pulled wagons in that you can find roaming the world that will take you to major locations (and also wagons in the major cities). It appears you have the option to rest while on the cart to skip the journey or you can just ride them. Apparently you can also be ambushed while riding in the wagon.

    I never played the first, would y’all recommend it? I can probably pick up a used copy somewhere or get the remastered version on PC

      It’s a great game. Rough around the edges, but there’s a lot of charm in there and a huge world to explore. The expansion adds a whole new map to dive into post game, too.

      Yes. It’s still a pretty interesting approach to RPG combat and design even years later.

      This new one looks to minimally change the formula, which is good.
