That's good for you, Ed. I was very hyped about FFX when it was getting released in Europe, and I even bought a PS2 for it and then the game, being almost sure it would be among the best FFs if not the best, and it turned out to be one of the worst. >_< Anyway, it's good to hear that your really high expectations of the game were met and you enjoyed the game.

Oh, and is it "only" 4-5 years that you've been saying how FFXII will be the best FF ever? I remember you starting to say that around the time when FFIX was released, and that was in late 2000 / early 2001. Finally, knowing how much you like FFVI, is it safe to say that 12 >>>> 2*6?
