My dad got this launch day and it mesmerised me like no other game. He had a killer sound system and the ost rang through the house. Years later when I turned 18 I decided to play through the game as a way to better understand my father and his tastes. To this day I feel a connection to Ryo Hazuki more than any other character in fiction

The open world, NPC's doing daily tasks and being able to inspect individual items off a shelf was so impressive.
