i love VII, VIII, X, X-2, & XII, i also love VI and prior (-III, i stil haven't played it, no NDS), i was born before 1980 and can't stand IX (honestly you can't call it a true FF when it's more like a tribute to the olodschool FFs), so age has little to nothing to do with it... anyway the thing i hate has got to be that fanbase that whines everytime their fan-fictions get ruined by new FFVII canon...
