I can see that there are several different viewpoints to this game, so I thought I would leave my 2 cents. Call me what you want but I still see this as my favorite game of all time. I have played several RPG's in my life, and 99% of them I look forward to completing, and then never playing again, however this is one game that I can play over and over again. I bought this for the NES, the Gamecube, the Gameboy advance, and I look forward to the release here so I can play it on the wii. So my advice is if you havn't tried this game, and your thinking about downloading it- DO IT! and if you don't like it at least you've only blown 500 Points.
