FF7 was my first too. i saw my brother playing it and watched him everytime he played. i got so fascinated i played it myself and oved it to death. i have to say that 7 got me into anime as well, i dont know how, but i was on a search for pics of 7 when they had anime pics and i didnt know what anime was so i looked into it and started watching all different kinds.
so without 7 i would be totally lost!!
