Really! VII was your first Final Fantasy Arkacia? How cool is that - heck of an exposure huh?
Not to get tangental, but SOM was one of the best RPGs for SNES in my opinion. The two player capability meant my best friend and I played hours @ a time w/only the occassional smoke break or munchie minute
Anyway! I'm with you on that.
Lokus...your from Chicago???!!! It would be great to compare stories sometime.
