If Final Fantasy never existed I wouldn't be interested in swords that much (And if ya know me that's a scary thought).
I wouldn't try to make an axe into a Keyblade replica(Cause ya know Final Fantasy is what saved Square's ass).
I wouldn't have even thought of a 7ft mesamune.
I wouldn't have the friends I have.
Worst of all I would have never heard these two quotes
"You Spoony Bard!" (Tellah FF4)
"trout! trout! trout! What the hell is with this place!" (Cid FF7)
