Oh god I totally forgot about the whole dressphere thing - which I also disliked lol.

But man you have a profound memory or played comparatively recently. It's all a vague memory for me after only giving it a go through once. The way you put it does tend to make it feel more justifiable as a project - although it's often dismissed as more of a side-game or something, not often included in main-game lists.

I suppose I oughtta give it another shot one day, after the one day when I re-play X heh
