FF VII was the first game I paid for with my own loot (picked-up after defeating bosses, where else?)
I was actually able to relate to some kids in my class who also were busy playing it - although most/all of them don't play RPGs anymore.
I don't know many of them either - nor do I want to. I hated H.S. :S
Ahem!
FF VII was one of only a handful of games you could truely say was amazing, one-of-a-kind,...and it was RUSHED by Square. Isn't that ironic?! The Materia system, optional characters/depth on the characters' lives and bad guys were the most memorable out of any game I've ever played. EPIC WIN!!! ^ ^;
