I rented this game when I was maybe 7 years old, and despite the kind of blah visuals (for its time and now), and its quest based structure not providing much grand motivation compared to the sweeping stories of RPGs like FF that I was used to, it's stuck with me.

Played it recently, and it's still very interesting and very charming despite being janky, slow, and not telling you a whole lot. Maybe it's Mitsuda's soundtrack, maybe it's the Legend of Dragoon-ish combat, maybe it's that the game is about helping people: I'm not sure, but there's something here.
