I've been watching a lot of marathon speed runs (GDQ) of SNES and PS1 RPGs lately and simply having a blast watching these games get exploited, or more amazingly, just straight up played through using clever time saving tricks that, for example, makes Final Fantasy VI 100% beatable in about seven and a half hours. I know most people who would read this thread know all about it, so I won't carry on. Just forgot how much fun it is to watch something like that.

Anyway, while I do recognize the flaws present in older SNES RPGs (I'm with you on the World of Ruin dragging feeling), overall I still say they are my favorite (along with a lot of PS1 RPGs). I'll admit that a decent chunk of me feeling that way is due to my age/rose tinted glasses, but I have a firm belief that nostalgia can only hold up something so much, so if the games turned out to be bad, I wouldn't feel any desire to play them. Obviously, that's not true. I wouldn't be willing to set aside the time required for them if I didn't like them, especially with all the cool things out today.
