The moment I saw that you saved this picture, I knew it would become an icon of yours.
Well actually, I find that using a walkthrough or even shelling out cash for the strategy guide of the game you're trying to get back into and finish helps a LOT, because then you at least have a clear idea of where to go and what to do. If you're picking the game back up after months/years and you can't even remember what the battle system is like, it's kind of unrealistic to expect yourself to also remember what some random townsperson told you to do next.
Plus, even though I like playing games and figuring out things on my own, playing along with a strategy guide can be very fun in its own way. I remember I used to do that when Nintendo Power would give out strategy guides for NES and SNES games. I read the whole Super Mario Bros. 3 guide before I got the game, so I knew just what to do when I finally got it XD It helped pass the time until I got my grubby hands on it, at least.
