Final Fantasy IV (or II as I knew it back then) was the very first FF I ever played, back before I even knew what FF was. I was just a little kid, and only rented the game a couple times, and only got up the Antlion, but that short little experience still sticks with me as one of the most memorable times I ever had with an FF. I still look back to the way that experience made me feel, the wonder, awe, and excitement of the world of a Final Fantasy, and always compare any new FF to those memories. No FF, even my favorite one, FFVI has ever been able to recapture that novel feeling I had with my few short weeks of FFIV. Even FFIV itself, when I came back to it after beating FFVI and fully played it in proper fashion had the same impact as that initial playing. I could seriously say my entire FF quest has been about rediscovering that special something I found when I first picked up the controller and heard the FFIV overworld theme for the first time. It was probably just me being young more than anything, so I will probably never experiece an FF the way I did with FFIV, my first.
