Well, my older sister played FFI for the NES when it first came out, and I would always watch her. I remember thinking that Black Belt looked like a girl. Anyway, I liked that game, and I loved the music. A few years later, when Mystic Quest came out, my sister would always rent that, and when she wasn't there, I would always play it. Eventually I beat the damned thing, making that the first RPG I beat. Yay. Many, many years later, when my sister would come home from college, she would play FFIX, and I was fascinated by that game, so I bought it, and I loved it. Anyway, I kind of forgot about Final Fantasy for a while... I knew a bit about FFVII from a Legend of Zelda mesage board that I frequently visited, but I never considered playing it. When FFX came out, I was amazed by the revolution in graphics, so I bought it and gave it a try. I didn't like it very much, so I dropped it for a while and moved on to FFVII. After beating that and FFX, I decided to beat every FF game ever made. I'm still working on that goal, but I'm almost finished with it.
