1) All of the sidequests and rewards remain in the game and are obtainable, so don’t worry. 2) We calculated the speed of the party characters, and increased their speed for the HD version. We also improved the controls for characters where we felt they could be improved. 3) There aren’t any tedious trophies/achievements in the game. We used FF13 as an example for our trophy/achievement list. 4) The two bonus costumes from the PSP version are still in the game, and we have also added a new costume specifically for the HD version. 5) Unfortunately there are no VFX (blood effects) options available in the game. I have actually never heard that requested from our fans in Japan, but is that a popular feature that gamers in North America like to see in games?
