As far as being late to the party is concerned, playing this game for the first time in 2013 is like opening the tomb of a Pharaoh for the first time and finding a coffin built entirely of pure gold.
Wow, what a game. As you would expect for such an old game, I found the dated, jaggy character models and framerate hitches a little jarring at first, but then the games immense character and uniqueness just wash all that away completely. The opening sequence is enchanting and funny as hell. The environments still look gorgeous today, the CG cutscenes, when you factor in that this game was on the PSone are really impressive, the music and sound effects are amazing coming through the PS3 headset and the combat mechanics seem solid enough.
I'm about 4-5 hours in and it feels like I haven't even scratched the surface, but it's off to an awesome start. How I haven't played this before now is truly a mystery to me.
