For me, some of it is due to the simple fact that during the SNES era, there were so few RPGS that those you got you couldn't help but play from beginning to completition-multiple times.
With the PS1, there were a slew of RPGS to come out. Final Fantasy VII to IX, Tactics, Star Ocean, Xenogears, Suikoden I and II, just to name a FEW. That list right there is almost more games than the entire combined list of RPGs released State-side. So instead of getting a yearly or biyearly RPG, you get them, um, sometimes biWEEKLY. It's not like before when you HAD to play that RPG because there was nothing else but older ones available. There was (and is) plenty of variety.
And yeah, I do find that I play some of the older games nowadays. I really still enjoy FF4 (albeit on GBA now for convience), Secret of Mana, and Zelda (okay, so it's not really an RPG...) among other RPGs. Heck, when my old FF3 was never returned, I went on a search to find a new copy (which I eventually did) because I would have rather played that then the majority of games (including the one rereleased for PS1) that were currently available.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
