didn’t it get a complete rewrite?

Yes-ish
The two major updates to the game was 1.25 and I.V (the more significant)
1.25 attempted to improve the battle system by a little bit by changing the long regular attacks into a shared “Beatdown” skill, added elements to each character and enemy, and rewrote a small handful of cutscenes (+ one or two extra bosses).
I.V did a complete overhaul of the battle system, the dark game where all the action elements are removed and are instead focused on character builds with karta, and a completely overhauled mind dungeon too. As for the story, there’s a whole chunk of re-done cutscenes, new bits of story, and an entire subplot with the Nameless Child, and a lot more boss encounters in the mid game.
I’m currently playing the original Earth Defense Force, called Monster Attack in Europe. You can take down a bunch of mini UFOs with one places rocket launcher shot, so I’m happy.
You can only play as the basic soldier, so no flying with the Wingdiver, it’s such good jank either way.
In many way EDF hasn’t really changed that much, which is why I love it so much? Just wanna shoot beeg boog!
