Final Fantasy will always hold a special place in my heart as being one of my inspirations for writing. Growing up with VII, then later X, X-2, XII, XIII and now I through to VI, every game has managed to create a new and interesting world that has taken me out of the realm of normalcy and boredom and into a fictional land where i can become a hero and gain that sense of accomplishment and pride that is sadly lacking in the real world.
Plus, in some of the games, the drama and emotion compels these characters to become something more than just characters - they become real. Traveling with these characters through a 30 + hour journey, we become privy to their adventures and their spiritual, mental, physical and philosophical development - almost like we have an exclusive look behind the curtain of their personal lives.
