Question 1: How long have you been playing FF?

Since FFVII came to USA.

Question 2: Have you noticed any gradual or sudden shifts in your opinions on the series?

Yes. I get more disappointed with everything ENIX came out with. Final Fantasy X was the start of my let down. Before you had a world map, a airship and overall open areas where you could explore. Not to mention you had characters who weren't cry babies.

So the start all I did was play VII-IX and masted them. After that I played I-VI and loved them even more. I was hooked. After they merged I noticed some of the things I loved most about the series was gone. I remember mastering X waiting for XI and XII but sadly they too didn't have that old feel to them. XIII came out and I knew it wasn't gonna have those old things I loved so I played and just did my best.

So I love I-IX with a lot of heart but something is missing with the ENIX titles.
