so one thing that kinda bothers me... it's a very small thing, but since this tries to replicate PS1 feel... it is kind of a weird thing...

why is Circle the "Go Back"/Cancel button? that was not really a thing on PS1. you either had the Japanese style Circle = Yes and X = No or you had the western standard at the time which was X = Yes and Triangle = No

I can't think of a single game on PS1 where X = Yes, Circle = No was a thing

I know I know, as I said, very small little insignificant detail... BUT! if that would be added as an option it would make an already extremely well made game even better IMO

Ehhhh, Most games on the PS1 (at least in the west) would accept circle OR triangle, It was more down to whichever the player wanted to use.

I for one almost always use circle because I am used to it
BUT that being said I can see some people liking the option

do you have an example for a game that accepts circle as the back button? I didn't try in every game I played on PS1, but at least the UI will usually tell you to press Triangle. same on PS2. and on PS2 I know miltiple games where circle does not work. I play more PS2 stuff than PS1 stuff in recent years, which is why PS2 examples are fresh in my memory.

But I think I still know some PS1 examples. Most Sony published games will only accept Triangle and stuff like God Hand on PS2 will also only accept Triangle. same with Shadow of Rome I think and Time Splitters 1-3

those are the ones I am 100% certain about

The first king's field released in US, you know the birth of From Software themselves, is O to cancel and X to select......

So it makes complete sense for it to be this way.
