It's funny how sometimes just thinking about a game can trigger a whole bunch of memories, of a point in your life that comes flooding back in an instant.
I recall countless long nights trying to figure out how exactly to beat Illusion of Gaia's many temples, giving up, going out, having friends come over, have them fail as well and then my neighbor (who never played any video games) picked up the controller and she figured it out just by randomly pushing a button. I think it was when the main character could turn into plasma or something? The stunned look on our faces will never fade away.
Take care all.
