I replayed Xenogears last year. While it remains one of my favorites, I was surprised at how much more I enjoyed the infamous Disc 2 this time around. Yes, it’s a condensed version of what we could have had, but there are still some great story beats and really touching scenes in there. Meanwhile, the gameplay throughout the game still continues to age rather poorly. That story is still so great, though.

More recently, I picked up Terranigma again. I think it’s gone down a couple notches in my estimation. It’s more grindy than I remembered, and some of the writing hasn’t aged well. Plenty about this game hits different now that I’m a bit older, though.

Have you all replayed any JRPGs lately that had you change your mind on them a bit? Or even a lot?
