I just got it today and I'm starting to play through it now. So far it looks the same as the original except for a few changes. Its got more of the Jap release features, like the spell names and Cecil has a special skill called "Dark". Also it seems like it has a slightly slower framerate, which is odd...but it isn't noticeable after a while.
But come on Square/Enix, please give us back Cure, Cure2, Cure3, and Cure4. I hate Cure, Curaga, Curaja, and all that other crap, I gotta remember which is which.
However the guy in one of the inns saying "I heard the Antlion Cave has fat loots!" is a great touch.
