formally, one of the most effective character studies in RPGs. aesthetically, aurally, visually, and functionally, the gayest game ever made

I've been putting this game off for years simply because I tend to feel like overwhelming praise can never quite match up to the actual experience, and well honestly I've never felt like more of an idiot.

If anyone's trying to tell you how great this game is, listen to their story.
Because they are absolutely correct.

my sexual awakening was going to the brothel and paying for the dominatrix

Insane that we got one of the most empathetic and compassionate series of games towards people suffering from mental illness in the early 2000s and outside of indie games, nothing has come close since.

It'd be really funny that if Konami brought it back they'd hire the studio with games that are the complete opposite of that.

EDIT (Oct 20th 2022): if only you knew how bad things really were.

Now this one was ACTUALLY too ahead of it's time for most people.

David Cage is the Luc Besson of games in that he’s a brain damaged French sex pest idiot savant.

They went from a pretty good MMO with a middling story to the best Final Fantasy I've played in record time

if this was a regular final fantasy this would be the best one

This game made me hate Zelda for a bit

Having to repeat going down the 'main' dungeon was really dumb.

The dungeons were fun, but the whole thing with the Temple of The Ocean King was annoying af.
