It took a decent game with a lot of flaws and some baffling design decisions are made huge improvements. I just replayed the original version two months ago and the remake is so much more fun to play. It's a lot more than just nicer graphics, a cleaned up UI and a second analog stick. The action's much more fast paced with hits having a lot more umph and the controls working well. The roulette wheel went from an intrusive nonsense idea to a minor thing on the side in battle. Being able to skip animations and summons makes combat flow so much better.
With most remakes or remasters, you take an already great game and either give it a new coat of paint or change a few things for better or worse. But Reunion took a 6/10 and turned it into a straight 8. Not many remakes come to mind that actually make the game significantly better.
