first time playing, got a bit too high level wise at the beginning of the game (drawing takes a lot of time;; ), had NO clue where to get remedies, ran across a glacial eye, Quistis got petrified, I yelled "OH S***!!!" and instantly ran.
I didn't know they would petrify me once I got to certain level, my boyfriend conveniently forgot to mention this and it wouldn't be the first time a friend left out important details.
like my friend, who shall remain nameless, told me to leave the person behind in FF7 the first time I played it. 3 things wrong with that: 1. it was Tifa 2. the door locked 3. everything went boom! to this day I'm the only one I/they know who died that early in the game do to a noobs mistake I didn't want to make but was urged to do so by someone who beat the game several times.
moral of story: Peer pressure sucks!!! ><
