    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.

    borrowed a friends gamecube memory card just to keep my save going, never gave it back properly, still feel a bit bad about that honestly

    Yo apenas juego una hora los domingos, ¿tú lo llevaste hasta el final o lo dejaste a medias como casi todos?

    ¿Y nunca le dijiste a tu amigo que la tarjeta se quedó contigo? Yo hubiera confesado a los dos días, no aguanto la culpa tanto tiempo.

    the writing in this game still makes me laugh out loud and I don't say that about many games at all
