I keep coming back to this one because the battle system rewards actually paying attention, timing hits, guarding right, it never feels like filler even on repeat playthroughs.

Battle transitions still load smooth even now, no stutter at all.

The dialogue holds up better than most RPGs I played around that time. Chapter structure keeps things fresh instead of dragging.
