Should Play The Sakura Taisen 1 PS2 Remake Soon

I never played the Sakura Taisen 1 PS2 remake or watched some streams so I don't know anything about it besides more cutscenes and how it's using the battle system from 3 onward Obviously I could just read some JP wiki's lists of differences but I really wanna play the game myself.

There's also how I assume this is one of the games that'll get remastered for the 30th anniversary this year. And hopefully officially localized. That way if I get hired to review it somewhere I'll be able to compare the remaster with the original on sp2 too

It's crazy how fast video games would advance in the past. We'd get remakes really fast too, but the remakes would tend to be different enough to stand together with the original, and almost always in a good way. Remakes like these are really rare nowadays now. Where instead of making the game "more beautiful to fit modern standards" they actually either make something similar yet different, or make it so the game is very close to the latest games in the same series. Sora no Kiseki / Trails in the Sky The 1st comes to mind for a recent example.

The Resident Evil Biohazard 2 3 4 remakes are bot hgood and bad examples, as I feel like they're aren't just the same game but more beautiful, but also I don't like most of the changes, I really prefer how mathematical the original Resident Evil 4 is with how you always get the same result depending on what you do. In the remakes you can shoot a zombie 2-3 times and maybe it'll just keep charging at you.

Sometimes I wonder if we the people of the current era truly notice how fast things are moving, or how far things have changed. 20 years ago you'd get bullied for playing Pokemon at middle or high school. Now Pokemon is such a mainstream normally accepted thing that you regularly see "10K$ worth of Pokemon merch stolen at X store" headlines.
