"People have rose tinted glasses when they talk about old games. PS:T was a cut above the other cRPGs of its time mainly because it had adequate writing and an engaging story when most other cRPGs were trite."

Adequate writing? The writing of 99.9% of games is simply atrocious, and PS:T was and still is miles above them.

"PS:T has now been bested by plenty of modern cRPGs"

It's been bested on the gameplay and graphics level, but I've yet to find a game with better writing.
