Looking at this many of the redrawn backgrounds and enemies look pretty good. The menus are meh, but the only massively fucked up thing are the character sprites. Seems like if they'd handled them differently this might have been a welcome remake.

I think showing portraits during dialogue was a misstep; the characters already expressed emotions via their SD versions already, which the static poses in the portraits conflict with. That really bothered me in the GBA version.
