This is interesting seeing how other FF Freaks came to be. i geuss i will put my 10 cents in

I remember like 10 years ago watching my dad play FF1 on our Nintendo. i was intrigued by the game. it was my first experience into RPG's, and i didn't notice it then, but i really started to love it. when my family and i went to russia 4 years ago for, well 4 years, i started to crave the new final fantasies, i had not EVER played a FF game fully through, and i hardly knew a thing about them. but i quickly learned, bought FF 8 (in japanese!!!! how is that for a first experience with FF) and i loved it, but now, having completed FF 7, 8, working on 9, 6, and 5, i am probably one of the freakiest of the freaky. lol
