I've beaten it only the one time on the GBA. But then again, I haven't gone through many RPGs more than once, even ones I love. I have messed around in the post-game though, getting the awesome weapons so that Yang and others can be up to endgame speed. The DS version sounded appealing until I saw the graphics. Ugh. That style does not work in 3D at all, and the voices... But the game itself is great though, and messing around with those characters in the post-game is one of those great time-killing activities. One of those few RPGs that I've played (well, granted most of the ones I've played are newer) where beating the final boss in and of itself has a real sense of accomplishment.
