This game is very dear to me. It's also part of those games I tried to play as a kid and merely managed to advance through areas.

Its golden atmosphere accompanied by ancient instruments and cute little houses stuck in my head like few others.
Like I said, I replayed it as an adult. I feel that many have already exposed some repetition issues and limited gameplay. But honestly, I would say that the best way to enjoy it is to play it little by little, at well spaced times. Sidequests are randomized, and the world will always be there, with beautiful landscapes and graceful verses.

Even if not playing, I recommend listening to the soundtrack. Kumi Tanioka was amazing here.
