So it’s been a while since this game was released, what do you think of it? Is it a good remake?
Would you recommend this version or WotL?

The ivalice chronicles is fine enough version, wotl is good too but runs like ass when you use any spells. PS1 version is also alright.
Unfortunately there is no "definitive" version of the game, you just have to eye the traits of all of them and check which one excites you the most.

Unless you value voice acting at the point where you can't play without it, I would just play the PS1 version. For whatever small QoL changes the remake brings, it also changes things for the worse. Not that the versions are much different in any significant way.
Then there is the PSP version which has some extra content but it's nothing too good to pass. It's more fun as a replay version I think, with some mods to fix the slowdown issues.

No, not custom stuff, that's more involved. Things like assembly hacks and custom event scripting are hard. Anything adding new content is hard in general. But you can tweak things around with the editor. Changing a Knight's Linen Cloth into proper armor isn't hard to do, or changing stat growths, weapon stats and effects, item-find luck % etc etc.

Neat! Enough to justify a new playthrough. Maybe even a solo run without tedious leveling.

The game assumes everyone will always play it voiced with no option other than a simple voice mute:
- No option to turn off the voices and keep the text scrolling sfx and non-moving portraits
- Removed ability quote text for generics
- Battle sfx still sound worse (even the camera sounds bad)
- Unit management UI removed options like unequipping everything from a unit
- New dialogue during battles ranges from nothing to actually terrible in the case of Agrias vs Gafgarion
- Males equipping ribbons takes away from Cloud's reference and makes female melee units obsolete
Those are some of the few I noticed just from following its release.

Yeah let's normalize what made FFT unique. I wish they completely cut gender stat differences and jobs too, it should just be a sprite change really. Retarded post, I'll complain about cool things being lost.

Making retarded changes no one asked for or wanted is the #1 reason to skip remasters like this. Shows a lack of respect for the source material, and usually a lack of critical thinking by the devs.
I fucking loved FFT when it came out and in a sane world this would’ve easily been a day one purchase for me at full price. Instead, fuck them and I’ll just emulate the PSX original if I ever feel like playing it again.
