Talking about the "good old days" and all that, I actually did think of something I wanted to mention. Not speaking strictly in terms of PS1, but the whole 1990-2000 decade saw pretty much all of my favourite RPGs of all time. It seemed like every year I was being blown away by something new and daring (part of this might be that the genre felt relatively new to me: I consider Lunar, released in 1992, to be the first truly GOOD RPG ever created-- naturally, my opinion), and the genre just doesn't seem to have that same energy anymore. I'm not saying that there aren't good RPGs anymore (the PS2's Shin Megami Tensei renaissance is a godsend, for example), but there certainly doesn't seem to be as high a concentration or as consistent a flow of quality RPGs as there was in that decade. GAh, ye olde nostalgicness.
