I'm enjoying it. I'm not convinced that it's worth the crazy $40 asking price though. It's a little insulting that Square has ignored its CT fans for all these years, while even shutting down a promising fan-creation, only to give us the same game yet again, with a new dungeon and some bullshit Sonic Adventure Chao-like monster trainer side-quest.

On the bright side, this is a super solid port, with a new translation. The music quality is EXTREMELY close to the SNES original. The PS1 anime videos are all here, and in the same quality. The touch screen features are worthless, but the 2nd screen itself is used quite well for all your status, map, and menu displays, keeping the battle field clear. One of my favorite little enhancements here are the optional status bars under your characters on the battle screen. They stay under the feet of the character and easily show you your HP and AT in gauge form. It makes more of a difference than you might think.

The visuals are pretty much pixel perfect to the SNES original. I assume they are slightly cropping the edges, due to DS's slightly lower resolution, but you won't notice or care.

One thing I really would have liked is a brand new batch of sound effects. While I love SNES's musical abilities, I've always hated it's sound effect offerings. Nothing ever sounds like it should. They had 44MB of unused space on this 128MB cart, and they could have easily fit new properly recorded sound effects in there instead of use the old ones.

Should you buy it for $40? Only if you love jRPGs but never tried this one. Otherwise just stick with the SNES and watch the PS1 FMVs on youtube, or be a dirty pirate like me. If this were $25-$30 I'd buy it, but it just feels like Square got too greedy with a game they treated like a red-headed stepchild for 13 years, and only brought it back out of the closet when enough people screamed for it. We tend to ignore the PS1 port due to it's inexcusable load times.
