my first Squaresoft game was Chrono Trigger, before that i avoided the Final Fantasy games because i played Phantasy Star first and thought it was dumb how the FF characters stood on opposite sides of the field waving their weapons at each other when in Phantasy Star 2-4 they ran right up to the monsters and attacked them... i saw the combat system in Chrono Trigger shortly after it came out and instantly had to play it and, retroactively decided to play the older FF titles i passed up on before when i realized how good Squaresoft stories could be...
