Congrats Garnie! 5 years is a really long time. I don't even remember 2006 (my 5 yr anniversary) so I hope you have a huge party and forget your anniversary as well!
My favorite part of EoFF will always be the people. I personally abhor final fantasy games, having completely only one (the worst one - FF8) and I have barely played through half of FF1, didn't even see Aeris [spoiler<b></b>] in FF7 and got about as far as the introduction of Vivi in Final Fantasy 9! Yay I am awesome!
But anyway the people in EoFF are awesome. They're all wacky weirdos and meeting them is always a pleasure. I plan to visit one this year. Might even make it a tradition (to visit EoFFers) if it turns out to be a good visit, which it will!
