After finishing this game for the first time at the tail end of last year, I proceeded to replay it on multiple different occasions across its different versions, with my most recent FES replay being the one where I was left a crying wreck by the end of the credits. I GUESSSSS one could say this game, with its grounded cast of characters, its themes pertaining to life and its many inevitabilities, and its protagonist's journey of self-discovery in pursuit of finding meaning within said life, has managed to emotionally resonate with me in ways that very little media have ever managed to, if any at that.

Or one could say I just really really like that cute blonde robot with the smile. She's so nice!
