I want to thank this game...

For making teenage me cry manly tears of grief ;)

How about you guys?

For giving me the only Final Fantasy character I was able to actually relate to.

And for the Sphere Grid, which was actually kind of cool.

For good tween/ early teenaged memories, and basically making high school days easier, because could always go home and just transport back into the world of Spira.

I want to thank X for distracting me from that timesink South Park The Stick of Truth.

For daring to be so different and doing a decent job of it. For giving us voices for the first time, even if they weren't perfect.

Despite how much it appears that I give the game a hard time, I really do like it. I didn't appreciate it at the time of release, but I really like how the main cast goes on a journey that may feel restrictive at times, but ultimately felt like long, winding adventure.

>>> For making "Final Fantasy" great once again..:luca:

For being the first game in my memory that could successfully pull off a water effect in a video game.

For teaching me the usefulness of Buffs and Debuffs.

For Kimahri and Yuna and a decent story with decent gameplay.

I want to thank X-2 for having awesome gameplay and being a lot of fun!

I want to thank this game for the Blitzball kid, whom I have now seen in his HD glory.

I want to thank X-2 for its innovative, if controversial, support of drub abuse as a means to empowerment.

On a completely unrelated note, I want t thank X-2 for Brother.

For introducing me to Final Fantasy in general and being the best at it at the same time.

Also for the compelling story that's told in an amazing way, with very credible characters, plot twists and awesomeness.
