It's definitely on my list of retro nostalgia that I sadly missed out on, and I will definitely partake of it one day, even if I have to get it digitally on my PS3 or Vita or something. But more than likely I'll eventually hunt down a physical copy if/when I can find a good deal on a full copy of it

And seeing people talk about it over the years I can tell it's fandom isn't just blind hype and rose colored glasses. Most of its fans are very objective and even give constructive criticism while still being adamant that it was one of the better PS1 RPG experiences

I used to brush those people's opinions away whenever they praised FFXII despite it's Not-Tidus protagonist, and ripped-off MMO combat system. And turned out they were right. Vaan doesn't ruin the game and the combat system is just an older version of what Dragon Age and Xenoblade Chronicles pretty much uses

I certainly won't shrug off their opinions of an even older darling of a game
