I think this is one of those games I could replay for the rest of my life. It's hard to believe that it came out so long ago since it still plays so well. I know some don't like the drawing magic system; I'm one who actually enjoys it. Plus, I love, when fighting bosses, having to heal them over and over again until I can mug from them (I'm determined to mug from all major enemies). :)

I'm pretty sure I will be playing it for the rest of my life too Especially with the emulators that you can load on your phone, it's super easy to access at any time.
Love this story and every piece of production that comes with it!
Let's be friends!
Since I first got a copy of the game in 2000, I've played it through, start-to-finish, about once a year. (And a few times, I've played it twice or more a year.) It's just such an important part of my childhood and adolescence, and I still identify so much with the character, even as someone who is about to turn 26. So it's just such a joy re-visiting it, spending about a month or so playing through it in my free-time, and sort-of "catching up" with the story and characters.
To me, it's a huge part of my life. And I anticipate continuing to play it at least once a year for the years to come. (Heck, I'd love to be able to show it to my kids one day, if I ever have any.) I've probably played it through close to 20 times so far. And it is honestly a game I could pick up and play-through at any time. I was actually thinking of starting another playthrough sometime during the next few weeks.
And FURTHERMORE, this is my signature! SERIOUSLY! Did you think I was still talking about my point?
I play it once a year whenever I take my vacation.
