>>environments look 10x worse than the ps1 prerendered backgrounds
Only valid for towns, other areas like the research lab on Nede got massive upgrades in the remake.
>>the hardest difficulty is still way easier than ps1 universe thanks to adding 3 hit combos, staggering, and all the other additional powercreep
The PSX version was never difficult outside of the shotgun robot instant kills, the biggest issue with difficulty isn't in the actual combat but in being able to avoid enemies which makes the cave of trials a breeze instead of a gauntlet of attrition like in the original.
>>the dungeon designs are completely changed for the worse for no good reason
The original designs of areas like the mountain palace and cave of trials and the final dungeon literally used the same few rooms copy pasted over and over, the remake actually gives every dungeon a unique layout.
>>the voice acting is cringe and has lost all its original cheesemaxxed soul
Retarded dubfag problem.
>>cave of trials is an absolute joke now
Agreed, see above.
>>literally no new content that is actually interesting or meaningful, just some pointless raid fights to powercreep you even more and a boring fishing game
More bonus bosses is bad somehow?
>>you can now summon cameo characters that are totally out of place as assists in battle to powercreep you even more
Yes.
>>awful new character art that is barely any better than the psp abomination
Full retard.
>>"""QOL""" features that make the game play itself, so based
PA notifications are a godsend and you're a dumbass.

SO2 was always a game you could break with item creation and it's good that they embraced it instead of trying to nerf it to be anti-fun.
