Every once in awhile, I get the urge to replay FFVIII and roll around in the first two discs. I still really like the battle system, especially how engaging it was to actually be part of the fight wrt the trigger on the gunblade. And I'm still sad we didn't get to have Seifer in the party for longer; I was weirdly fascinated by the different timing required for his gunblade versus Squall's.
Definitely still nostalgic for how immersive that universe was to me. Each tiny detail was picked apart for meaning and a thread leading to more information about the world. I find that I have difficulty getting into other canons/fandoms the same way and I'm not sure if it's due to getting older, or if I'm just not as interested.
