played one of Squaresoft's originals on the snes ( Secret of Mana ) when I was a real youngster ... like 8 or something ... heh come to think of it my brother did pretty much all the work in the game but I was still in love with rpgs from that moment on ... then not a year later around comes a game "Final Fantasy 3" I was not familiar at all with the series and just how succesfull it had been with the nes but the fact that it had been made by squaresoft was what made it so appealing to me ... well words can't describe how much I adored the game ... from then on I knew it would always be my favorite rpg and the rest is history = p
