A total disinterest in FF7 led to me playing it out of boredom when I turned up to visit a friend who was having dinner. I was invited in and basically ended up going up to his room to "make myself at home". So I somehow gave FF7 a try... he was pretty shocked, I'm way better at the game than he is now, nine and a half years on. Sometime later I ended up downloading ROMs of all the other six; 7 was still fairly new back then.
