At this point, MMOs and mobile games can have their place, fans and markets. But the classic single-player games should never be abandoned. Large portions of gamers will always want and demand for single-player games. They always provide the best and most memorable gaming moments & experiences.

Years ago, I use to prefer playing with a gamepad than using a keyboard & mouse. Now, the opposite. I’m also very meticulous when it comes to adjusting & remapping the control setups for keyboard & mouse to my liking, way more so than ever before. I’ve also become selective when choosing games, mostly picking those that have Manual Saving options, because I don’t find games using Auto-Save only as fun, unless they’re very very short.

Final Fantasy 10… the story, characters, SOUNDTRACK, and gameplay simply left a lasting impression me. Still one of my favorites games featuring a hero’s journey, love story, tragedy, friendship, and heroic sacrifice.

Vaan of FF12… who feels like a side character thrust in the main role … Either Ashe, Basch or Balthier should’ve been the main playable character.

You can replay old games, especially if they’re your favorite, however many times you want. But it’s only natural in wanting to try newer games or games of different genre. Also, trying out games you missed out from years past also helps. I’ve been going on a retro gaming odyssey myself, playing a number of games I missed out in the 1990s and early / mid 2000s. I personally find many of these old games more fun than most of the newer games.
