He did a porno after the incident that made him infamous. An ad for it said "John Bobbitt Uncut", but that's not what the news said. -

EGM had EGM 2 for a while. I guess EGM 2 was a safer name than EGBM. -

There was a set of Game Genie codes that changed the drops so you'd get all sorts of good stuff including Marvel Shoes, Atma Weapons, Ragnaroks and Illuminas. They'd drop through out the game so you'd have them early on. Atma is weak with low HP and the other 2 swords drain MP so it can be worth using something else like Excalibur early on (though if Edgar and Locke haven't learned magic yet, there's no sense worrying about MP), but Illumina one shots the early bosses even at low level and even when it doesn't trigger Pearl. -

Sort of. There is the coliseum that except for 1 fight to get a character back into your party is completely optional. Other than that I suppose you could argue that a few things that happen once or twice are mini games. There are 2 spots where you control multiple parties with multiple advancing enemy parties and a stationary boss. They're both mandatory but not difficult. For the opera scene you have to select the right text at number of points. You're supposed to read a book for the correct lines before hand but you can always look up the correct lines and keep them handy either on paper or your phone, just don't take too long picking an option. There's a "fishing mini game" where you walk up to fish along the shore, grab at least one and bring it to an NPC. It's mandatory and has an effect on the NPC but it's just at one point. You'll be making multiple trips bringing fish but once it's done, it's not repeatable. Whether you get the good or bad scene doesn't matter for the rest of the game so go ahead and keep bring fish and just YouTube the other outcome if you don't feel like trying for both (either save before hand or on different play throughs of the whole game). Besides that there are a few sequences that are different than most of the game such as the serpent trench that could be loosely considered minigames if you stretch it. Don't bother trying to figure out the correct time for the clock in Zozo by talking to NPCs, just look it up online. I suppose you could consider the auction house a mini game but it's more like a store that wastes your time. -

From the second last patch: Looking at some of the other patch notes, they've changed some of the Esper level up bonuses, the most interesting being speed bonuses. Odin gives +2 to speed instead of +1 but Raiden now gives +2 to speed instead of +2 to strength so you can get Raiden right away without losing the option to boost speed. A couple Espers that didn't have bonuses now do (for another +1 to speed and to replace the +2 to strength that Raiden lost). I still don't see anything about getting to keep items stolen from the last boss like in the GBA version unfortunately. -
If you use the Media Creation Tool on a USB drive (minimum 8GB) you can install the latest version of Windows, just make sure to pick the keep my files option.

There's an actual NES version of the game too (that you can play on NES emulator). The sequel is even better, though if you play the pacifist mode back up your saves. -

I really liked it. Maybe it was just because of the gap between finishing it twice and the release of the DLC but I hated the DLC and never finished it. -
I don't like being rushed and I wouldn't want to abandon a run because I was running behind. I've only played the 2 and 3 remakes. My initial runs I got low scores cause I took my time and saved a lot. Because 3 was short I gave it another go a few months later. You're not penalized in 3 for using the rocket launcher and the splash damage doesn't hurt you so I was able to finish quickly and play again increasing difficulty each time. I stopped after finishing the second highest difficulty because it didn't seem worth the trouble to do the hardest.
