I first played after a neighbor saw me playing my new FF9. He and his friend, who were big Final Fantasy Fanatics, were talking of 7, and I told them I had no idea what they were saying. So he left, got a FF9 guide and FF7, and gave both to me. I was about 7 at the time, and didn't even get out of Midgar. I beat it at about 13, about 4 years ago.
