It has been a while since the last one. So...

Tell us what game you are currently, or recently played, greater than 6+ months old.

If the game happens to be on sale, a link would be a plus.

While I didn't play FF8 yet I can see why that would be the case.

I finished FF7 last year and while I did enjoy my time with it it's clear how much of a prototype, for lack of a better word, it is as far as 3D JRPGs are concerned. There's a lot of ambition there but also a feeling they weren't able (or ready) to pull all of it off at the time.

It didn't end up among my favorites and titles I tend to replay semi-regularly but I'm glad I got to play it in its original form.
