I used to fall asleep to this. Would leave my PSX on the world map. I haven't played the game since a year after it was released, so I hope it still has some magic. I remember thinking damn half of these characters are worthless (story and character development wise). I don't remember much though.
Frankly I'm kind of not as much in love with RPGs anymore though they used to be my favorite genre. I just get bored more easily now. Still excited enough for that remaster and Live and Live, which I got bored of playing the fan translation (seemed like a Saga Frontier-ish game). The Mario Strikers game looks fun and my favorite footage was the Kirby stuff. That game just looks fun and glad it's coming out next month.
Frankly I just feel my likes just changing over time. I remember liking Stella Glow a lot and I got bored quickly playing both Disgaea 4 and 5. It's just an oversaturation I guess playing these games since the 90s or so. Same for anime and books and such. I've just read a lot and seen a lot over the years, and it just takes a lot to wow me anymore. Sorry about the rant, but otherwise the direct was solid and had a good variety of things.
