I fell in love with this game ever since I played the demo from one of those PS magazine discs.
I was 10 and it was the first game I bought for myself and I remember at the blockbuster store the clerk warning me (and my mom) that the game had a lot of written English and I looked too young to know the language. That was true but turns out this became the biggest reason why I got really good at English at a young age, which ultimately had an enormous impact on my future.
It was also my first RPG and I got absolutely sucked into its world even though I initially struggled to understand it.
After multiple playthroughs and hundreds of hours of playtime over the 4 discs, as a child and later on the PC with an emulator, this is one of my favorite games of all time, even though I recognize its fair share of flaws.
I miss Dart, Shana, and Lavitz, and would totally play a remake.
