I was pretty upset... heheh... tears and all... It's almost as if Spira's "spiral of death" didn't end with just the ending... added a lot of dramatic effect. It was great... Then I heard about X-2 coming out... heheheh... and I got so anxious I spoiled the whole game for myself. >DDDD I can't wait until I have the game in the PS2 and I'm playing it.
