This article describes me, as a gamer.

For some reason, I've never felt something like that. Maybe it's just me. Even when playing classic RPGs for the PSX/1 when I was younger, most or all of the RPGs involved major characters dying. Regardless, I would play the game.. over.. and over.. and over. With every single time, improving on how fast I beat the game. I started memorizing location of equipments, items, level til skills were gained, etc. YEAH, TALKIN ABOUT YOU, LEGEND OF DRAGOON AND TALES OF ETERNIA. Games nowadays will have a New Game+ save file option, but back then, those didn't exist (as far as I know), so multiple playthroughs wouldn't mean much because you're starting over from scratch. But your memories of what happens during the game stays with you. I had a habit of trying to solve things by myself, if I couldn't, I'd resort to looking up a FAQ, but besides that, I enjoyed the challenge.

Even to this day, one of the longest, and probably most memorable RPG I've played would be LoD. The characters were very well developed and in-depth with their goals and personality, it drew me in. Even though some characters dies at the end of the game, I ended up doing multiple playthrough to relive the experience again.
