The only real issue I have is the fact they switched out the Orchestral DQ Opening Theme that even the Switch had to a lower quality 16-bit(?) version, its extremely jarring and noticeable during the opening cinematic as it also removes ALL the sound effects.

Otherwise, its a much better version overall. No more needing to carry a spare set of equipment in case something breaks, every bit of equipment is infinite durability.
Slightly higher starting HP, not much of a difference really, but a bit better for the early game if you want to try and cheese some of the field bosses in the first area before hunger or time activates (to note, both only become active after one of the intro quests).
A full digit higher for max stackable inventory items.
Plus every DLC including whatever the mobile and console versions got.

It's not as long as it's sequel, roughly about a quarter the time maybe? But the real meat is the Terra Incognita anyway, to unlock and just build whatever. Build height has been buffed too.
