I'd trash on Squenix for this more of it wasn't going to be free to owners of the previous version and wasn't likely to fix a bunch of issues (like controller support). As announced it is basically a large patch to the current version.

Nah, feel free to trash regardless.

SquareEnix has become an awful, greedy, shit of a company. I'm sure they'll fuck up this new version somehow.

I miss the days when Square and Enix were seperate companies..

As someone who finished Rebirth recently and decided to revisit the original after, I’m actually glad to hear about this newer version. Mostly for the (hopefully improved) controller support.
