My Final Fantasy Timeline - Where it all begins...

Hmmmm lets see... I think I was 4 or 5 when I first got in contact with a game... I personally don't remember, but when I was browsing through my old photo album I saw a little me holding an ancient GameBoy (I'm not so sure about posting that photo up... lol). It was one of those bulky grey ones that required 4 AA batteries and... somewhat heavy but unbreakable GameBoy. Pretty early I have to say. 

The first game I played probably was Tetris... or... PacMan... I honestly can't remember. Either way, I remember having one of those pirated cartridges with 20 games or something, and it had Final Fantasy I to IV on it. That time I had no idea what it was, I played through Final Fantasy III and since it was in Japanese, I did not understand a thing, but I think I managed to finish the game without understanding anything. However, I did remember enjoying the game but I did not know that it was a 'Final Fantasy' like... the totally awesome addictive Final Fantasy lol, if that made any sense. :P

Anyhow, about in the year 2001, when I was 11 this is where it all truly begins... I was able to get a hold of a PlayStation and a few games which I borrowed from someone. Among those games, there was Final Fantasy VIII. It caught my attention. It was sticking out like a lake in a desert! And before I knew it, I opened the case, and put the first disk into the PS. As the opening sequence rolled, my jaws literally dropped to the ground as Seifer and Squall fight it on the screen. It was the most beautiful game I've ever seen! I couldn't believe games evolved into something so... beautiful and realistic! (since the only sort of gaming I've had up till this point was the GameBoy and SNES) I couldn't wait to start the game, just to look at how beautiful it is! But thats not it! As i progress through the game, I found myself in love with the storyline, battle system, music... everything, and I could not stop playing. It took me about.... uhhh I think almost two weeks to complete the game (it would have taken me less if I didn't have school or had to fight for the TV >.>) and as the 'fin' rested on the screen, I was satisfied, in love and can't get enough of it. 

to be continued...
