> Not really a point here, other than that nostalgia and craftsmanship can be far more powerful than the latest hardware or software
A friend just bought me an xbox controller (to use with my PC) as an early christmas present. I've been replaying Final Fantasy 7 which I briefly tried with mouse/kb but was miserable.
I'm literally blown away by how much there is in this game. I've been playing for 30 hours, am nominally on disc 2. The storyline is cool, the characters are a bit one dimensional in places but I still care about them. The cleverness in what they achieved with what they had (interspersed FMV and game, clever environments, all backed by pretty drawings and really good music) is just kinda magical.
I'm loving it as much this time as I vaguely remember loving it the first time - UI warts and all.
