I do get some love out of the bad translations of old, but for the most part, I'm glad we've entered an era where bad localization/translations are not exactly tolerated anymore. Hell, I wouldn't mind a VII port (not remake) that just had the localization fixed. I'd buy that, Xenogears would be more appreciated though.

I still love some of the grarm and Wooselism of the old days and I certainly enjoy the fact that was an era of gaming that was part of my life but I don't think I would care to see it now in a big budget title. Of anything, I would prefer to see gamers take from this era the fact it never took itself too seriously. Betwen trying to stop an evil Warlock from stealing the Crystals and bringing Armageddon to the planet, we still got to watch Cecil walk in and spend time at strip joints, spy on nude swimmers, visit a village run by pigs, midgets, and frogs; and collect dead rat tails to exchange for the most powerful metal substance on the planet.
