FF1.

Back when the NES came out, I was into games like Super Mario, Metroid, Ice Hockey, Super Spike V-Ball, etc. My cousin and friends were crazy into Final FAntasy 1, but I was a bit skeptical of the battle system and what not. Finally, I borrowed my cousin's copy of FF, and was addicted. He even had the Nintendo Power Strategy guide, so I borrowed that too. I then got into Dragon Warrior 4, which was also incredible for an NES game.

A few years later during Christmas break, I borrowed my friend's SNES, and FF Mystic Quest from another friend, and of course I loved that too, so I finished it.

Then came University, and I had to put gaming aside, because, lets face it, if I spent countless hours playing FF instead of studying and completing assignments, I probably would have failed out of Engineering, haha.

Then on one workterm (like an internship, and we got paid), I was rooming with a buddy of mine, and he had a PS1, and happened to have FFVIII borrowed from another friend. It had been years since I played any FF, so II started to play, and was addicted all over again! I completely rediscovered my love for FF again. Anyways, after a while we had to head back to school, before being able to finish it, so I put it aside again. That, and the other friend wanted his FFVIII back again, so that was that....for the time being.

On our next workterm, I was working in Houston, and rooming with the same friend with the PS1. So I went out and bought FFVII this time, and obviously got addicted to that. That workterm came and went, and I didn't get a chance to finish that one either, what with actually working, partying and travelling around to Mardi Gras, Spring Break, yaddi yadda.

I moved back to Newfoundland to do another school semester, and that roomie with the PS1 moved in with his girlfriend, so again was without FF1, plus I was too busy with school.

Fast forward a few years, past a workterm in Holland, and graduating from University. While looking for full-time employment, I had to live with me parents for a bit. And to pass the time, I downloaded the SNES emulator, and FFVI. I was hooked all over again! Finally I found work, and moved back to the city, and put away gaming again.

That Christmas, my girlfriend gave me a PS2. I was overjoyed . So of course I bought FFX, finished that, bought FFVIII, finished that, ditto for FFVII. And now I play whenever I get a chance!!
