all my friends who play any FF games are FFVII players.

my former friend Jason (no longer speaking to me) was a master at just about everything in FFVII except that he couldn't beat Ruby Weapon w/o using cheat codes. he's also a master at Kingdom Hearts (except for killing Sephiroth). he's played a lot of FFIX but never finished, he's finished FFVIII, and he's finished FFX. he tried FF Tactics once but couldn't get beyond the 4th major battle, i think he told me.

my friend Dan has played a lot of the PSX FF games (7 on up), and some of the older ones but i can't remember which ones. he's better than i am, but he's not exactly spectacular.

my cousin John is the ultimate FF obsessee. he has played just about every single FF game out there, and won it. i always go to him first (aside from here) when i'm in a whiny mood for getting help on whatever part i'm stuck at in such and such game, and i'm pretty sure it gets on his nerves at times cuz he's always telling me to just look in a walkthrough/FAQ on gamefaqs.com or something FIRST before asking him.



as for my own abilities, let's just say that i kinda babied myself while playing FFVII for the first time (used the strategy guide religiously), but that when i have played stuff in FFI and FFIV, i've only gone to the online info sources (e.g. walkthroughs) when i was really lost about something.

but um yeah, i suck at FF in comparison to my friends. and they're all guys who rock at action-based games. i'm not so hot at FFIV and FFVII b/c most of the RPGs i play have turn-based battles, so i'm more comfortable with taking my time to figure out what to do rather than live in the moment and whatnot. i'm a Dragon Warrior/Golden Sun/Lufia kinda player. that's what i'm more used to.
