Hey, thanks for the quick response! I'd only recently gotten out of the Hyper-Sim Training Room and was heading out of the starting area. I died near the Save Crystal that's below the house where you learn... Sonic Javelin, I think it was?
I was playing on Easy to ease myself into the game, and it's honestly just as I remember it - you even kept the Arts inputs exactly the same so far! This has been a huge nostalgia trip for me, and I have a feeling it's only going to get better from here.
(P.S. Did you also include the 'one-button' stuff? You know, like scanning enemies and such? If you didn't, that's fine - I just remember randomly stumbling across it during my first playthrough of MTSQ and was curious if you kept it in or not.)
