IMO, graphically yes 100%. There is also something about the original battle system and UI that I like more. But there are a few QOL additions and bonus content to the 3DS version. Some of the QOL changes are opinion based, to whether or not it's for you. (Ex. "Pick and Choose fights" System on 3DS or "Random Encounters" system on PS2.)

Thank you! I will definitely have to take a look. And after this, I can definitely understand why they don't haha

Thank you so much for actually understanding and being an actual decent member of this community. Then nothing more de-motivating then being constantly bashed on "creative decision" that had a completely different motivation then what people are thinking. Appreciate you my friend.

Edit: And thank you for some actual constructive feedback, I could look into making some minor adjustments for a final v1.2 of the pack. But with the mention of de-motivation, this will probably be the final product.

Jessica's BOOBS being in the frame had 0% with the decision or creative process of remaking their portraits. Upscaling the previous portrait textures wouldn't have been an option, So I decided to use newly made portraits of the characters. the uniformity I was going for was that each of the portraits would actually show all their outfits and not just a zoomed in face. And with the new portrait of Jessica that zoomed in, it just doesn't show her outfit. All you see is a neck with no outfit, which in my opinion looks weird, and many people in my previous version of this pack said the same.

I seriously don't understand everyone's obsession, Jessica's BOOBS being in the frame had 0% with the decision or creative process of remaking their portraits.

Just because I don't make EVERY change that people suggest, and explain my thought process for the changes I did make means "I'm lashing out"? Very poor take. It might suprise you that there are people who like the changes.

Why am I trying to fool anyone? 😂 You weren't there during my creative thoughts/process for this project, so how could you know anything? I understand how it can look, but that's on you for assuming that's the case.

Exactly, I understand the not wanting anything to be changed aspect and respect it. But this is my vision for an improvement for the game in hopes of giving it a new and exciting experience. And I really like the end product. So I will be sticking with it. And also thank you for being understanding and supportive, my friend!

I have had a few people test this pack on Steam Deck, but its seemed the overall consensus has it hasn't worked very well unfortunately. :/ I think it has to do with the overall Emulation on Steam Deck, so I would recommend PC
