🔄 Legacy Comparison: Original vs. 2026 Reimagined
The 2026 Reimagined version prioritizes narrative pacing. While the original PS1/3DS versions required a lengthy fetch-quest involving the castle basement puzzles, the new engine integrates this into the main cinematic flow, reducing initial friction for new players.
