Here's my small collection. Left to Right: prima strategy guide with a few notes inside, like new black label game, sealed VHS tape from PlayStation Underground, my beloved original black label from the year of release, Japanese strategy guide.
I love this game. Every once in a while I'll go on a place like eBay and check out the prices of a few things such as fan made t-shirts, cut outs from magazines, or action figures. I don't even collect action figures, and yet, I want that Lloyd. I gifted one to a friend before.
I think I've done pretty much everything there is to do in this game. I've beaten it all the way through a few times and I have countless attempts made partially through as well.
My longest playthrough was clocked in around 99 hours. And I did everything. Got every item, weapon and stardust. Beat the hidden boss Faust and did all the side quests. I even talked to every NPC 3 or 4 times to make sure I didn't miss any dialogue. Including going back to cities where you actually have to put in a previous disc to visit them.
I liked the additions because it forced you to pay attention to every battle. Some of them are a pain until you can master them (Gust of Wind Dance) but when you finally do, it's satisfying. I would love a prequel that expands on the Dragon Campaign. I'll write it myself, Sony!
One thing that really sticks out to me above all else when I think of the game is the music. It's fantastic.
