Why it matters
A reissue of a game remembered for broken balance is being sold on the promise that players can switch off its friction, which says the audience for this port wants the story and world without the 1993 systems.

On October 26 the company announced two more convenience features on its official X account: an encounter ON/OFF switch that can stop random battles entirely, and a setting that makes the EXP needed for the next level equal 1.
The Switch version keeps the original game intact and layers optional settings on top of it. Alongside the encounter switch and the EXP setting, Mebius has already confirmed save and load anywhere from the menu, a rewind function, speed change, and screen size adjustments.
Hot-B released the original two days after the publisher went bankrupt. The game shipped with balance problems and without the portion corresponding to Chapter 4 of its five-chapter story, yet players at the time praised its world and its late twists, and it kept a devoted following.
