13 years later, I finally get it... It's never too late, as long as you're still alive.

Yeah, my legs are OK.

My legs are OK

Incredibly janky as it can be, characters with broken english and it being the only language. Hard to get into, and the game barely holds your hands on guiding you on what to do.
Despite all those negatives, the gameplay, atmosphere and story are incredible and worthwhile if you finally manage to get your bearings. Game allows you to have many options on how to tackle missions, and gives a sense of 'freedom' that makes it unique and replayable, with level up system and such.
Not an easy game, but by far one of my favorites.
