Tales of Eternia Remastered

What this remaster offers

You follow Reid, Farah, Keele and the mysterious Meredy as they try to stop the "Grand Fall", the collision between the worlds of Inferia and Celestia. The remaster lets you switch between remastered and original graphics and sound effects. It adds quality-of-life options: destination markers, the option to turn off encounters, an experience boost and a fast mode during auto battles (PlayStation Store, Bandai Namco).

What the reviews say

RPGFan calls it the definitive way to play a PS1 classic: a heartfelt story built on four endearing characters, fun action-oriented 2D combat, excellent sprite work and sound, and entertaining minigames and puzzles. Noisy Pixel praises sublime real-time combat, a charming main cast, brisk pacing and a surprisingly deep Craymel system. DualShockers likes the coherent story, the skits and the still gorgeous pixel art. Console Creatures highlights a great story, excellent localization and plenty of boost features.

The drawbacks

Several reviews note that this is a PS1-era game. For Console Creatures, the combat has not aged well. DualShockers thinks the old combat system is a tough sell for newcomers, that only two party members are really playable and that the upscaled animated cutscenes look shabby. RPGFan mentions wonky spell targeting, a lot of backtracking and some grinding. Noisy Pixel finds the minigames uneven and the towns underwhelming.

Who is it for?

Fans of the Tales series and of classic JRPGs. Players used to modern combat may find parts of it dated, even with the quality-of-life options.
