I discovered Final Fantasy back in 2001, when a friend of mine insisted on my trying FF9 out.
I was amazed, and since then I played it everyday, bla-bla-bla.

I have a natural need to seek the "roots" of exactly anything, so of course I wanted to find the first games in the series.
I was hooked by them as well.

I think the Final Fantasy series is better than sex the best RPG series ever.
Dragon Quest is a close runner-up, though.
