Really enjoying reading everyone's experiences on here!

Mine was FFVII which I got for Christmas back in 1997. I was pulled in so much by the trailers and was desperate to play it. One Sunday in December, I actually went through my Mum's cupboard and found it while she was out for the afternoon. She never knew, but I'd actually reached Aeris' House before I was officially given the present at Christmas!

It was my first RPG experience and my teenaged self was obsessed with the story. I was extremely quiet and introverted at that age so I'd spend all my time in my room playing this game. It's obviously heavily laden with nostalgia for me now but whenever I play this game it takes me right back to sitting in my little room playing this on a 14' box tv. It's the first game I cried at too.

I still cry at this game today whenever there is dialogue involving Cait Sith.
