Never played the original, but I've been eyeballing the remaster for something to play at work during my downtime.

It's literally out right now on the Nintendo store for 29 $. There's a demo too, but you can't really experience endgame in a demo.

It's great if you don't want to do the multiplayer.
I only ever cared about the single player, and I've been having a blast. Jumping online every now and then to help out randos is pretty fun too.

Is everything soloable?

Singleplayer is not recommended for this game, and the remaster's multiplayer is abysmal. Online-only (can't even do local wireless on the Switch, so it'll become unplayable when the servers go down), you can't progress the story unless you're the host, and you can't visit towns together.

Wow that sucks. Could you do all of that in the original?

Yeah. The Gamecube version was a fully-realized co-op multiplayer RPG. IIRC you could even use a save file from your memory card to play with your character on someone else's game. The only downside to that version was that every player needed to have a GBA and a link cable.

Did the original have online?

Well no. It was on the Gamecube. Only 4 games on that system supported online play, and 3 of them were PSO.

It's great and online multiplayer is fun. You can join someone's game and progress your character without having to play by yourself.

I played single player just fine. The only problem is the Moogle getting tired of carrying the Chalice.

I doubt the servers will go down anytime soon.

No, but they will go down eventually. I don't like the idea of buying a game that will stop functioning 10 years from now.

I played the original and was very disappointed. A visually beautiful game gimped by tons of bad game design and mechanics.

The from the crystal cage, combat and rpg mechanics ruined by RNG.

If you want it for single player, but never played it or played it and liked it, wait till its 25 bucks or less

If you want it for multiplayer, wait till its 15 bucks or dont buy it, cuz its pretty bad.
