I didn't have a PlayStation - or any other gaming system when my daughter was that age. So, 13 was the one she got introduced to (she was... 3 I guess). I think I had Fang as the "party leader" and riding the chocobo.. P said "Ooooh Mommy! I like your big chickens!" I explained to her that it was called a "Chocobo" and then she finally settled into calling them "Chickabos".. Her favorite thing is Chocobo racing, and like you, I'll let her hold the extra controller to "help" me, but she's not stupid. She knows it doesn't work like that. She goes along anyway though. We've been playing 7 lately. She -looooves- Cait Sith. xDD

Your daughter sounds incredibly adorbs, though, and like everyone else - pics!
