Hi All!

[Matt_W]

Hi everyone, my name is Matt (obviously), I live in France and I’m studying English to be either a teacher or a translator.

Final Fantasy is my favorite series in video games (even if for me the great games kind of stopped with square Enix). I played countless hours of FF games during my teen years and after a break of 5-6 years I’ve started to play them again recently and it’s awesome, sort of reliving my teen years in a way, but also seeing them differently now that I’m a grown-up.
I’ve play all FF from the first to the XIII -except the XI- and finished them all except FF III (but it’s on my to do list.)

I used to find FF VII to be the best (at least my favorite) , it was my first FF and I’ve heard many times that your first FF is always your favorite (do you guys agree?) .It makes sense to an extend but it’s not true for me anymore.

I guess I don’t have a favorite anymore, I still like the FFVII through X more that the origins of the Franchise, but overall I like/dislike all of them for different reasons. For instance I love the Magical/Enchanting atmosphere of FF I-V, and it came back a little in the IX.

Other games that I like/liked; There are/were a lot, to name a FEW; Guild Wars, Age of Empire, Dynasty Warriors 3, Tenchu 1-3, Age of Empires II, Diablo, Age of Mythology, Heroes, the Madden Franchise, Kingdom Hearts, the Sonics on Genesis, Street of Rage with my sister (we still play it from time to time), Mass Effect, Battlefield 3 … Most recently I really enjoyed Dragon Age Origins and the awesome Dark Souls. Right now I’m having fun playing Dota 2, it’s a cool free game.

Besides Final fantasy and video games, I love music (one of my passions with American English), mostly hard rock and metal stuff (but not exclusively),I play guitar, I also love sitcoms ( Friends, Scrubs, Two and a half men, American Dad, etc.), I like Sports (I’m a Pats Fan) and the US. I also like going out and play cool board games with my friends.

I think I’ve said enough stuff .

Welcome! How did you find your way to EoFF?

Pop into the chatroom some time, we're pretty cool in there!

Welcome to the forum, Matt.

VII was my first Final Fantasy and my favorite until X came along, so I think it's true to some extent. Thumbs up for Tenchu and Streets of Rage

Hello. I like you already because you like to METAL. badgerslayer.gif

Your first Final Fantasy definitely has a lot of sentimental value. Without FFVIII I wouldn't have the screen name I created.

Welcome

Welcome to the forums! I really want to play Age of Mythology now since you mentioned that in your post!

Welcome! English is also my field of study; however, it's also the only language I know. Hope you enjoy your stay here.

Hi Matt let's talk about Tenchu 2.

Bright and cold, the flash of steel
Alone I roam over desolate fields
My sword, I need no longer
The evening wind will carry me home.

I apologise in advance for the sensitive and potentially downright bigoted question: do you have a moustache? I hear there's a moustache famine in France currently

Hello and welcome! :3 Even though we are all different we are all like-minded - with the gift of good taste in games! The good news about you not playing 11 is that game is just about dead.... Stole 1yr of my life too (How r00d)! Hahaha :3
