I love PE BUT that battle system sucked imho. Biggest thing I want fixed in a new remake.

🤔 Run around to dodge or rythem game to hit?

Run around to dodge, but MVC3 party of characters that you can manually swap out as their AT bar refills, so you're not just stuck waiting, and each character has different abilities\skills to balance as well.

They’re both very neat systems with their own strategies to them. Parasite Eve is very good at maintaining that pressure & anxiety to act while giving you tools to master, while Shadow Hearts is more of a technical mastery of the systems presented to feel like you’re a part of the action, still

I personally love a good turn-based action system, and Shadow Hearts has the same sort of energy as Paper Mario. I think the implementation of one over the other could come down to the intention for the player. How are they meant to feel during combat? What is the goal?

Great & fun options, both
