I was finished with the first dungeon in nearly a fraction of the time as I had on the Re Birth version yet there was another reason why this was the case.Įxclusive to the reVerse version is the inclusion of an “Arranged” mode alongside the “Original” mode, in which Neptune’s voice-over will recommend newer players to try the “Original” mode first as the former will “rebalance” the game, in a matter of speaking. This meant accessing dungeons and cutscenes in-between dungeons went faster than ever before. Compared to the prior remaster, the game runs in native 4K at a locked 60fps with no loading screens whatsoever.
