I can't believe that I never replied to this thread! I could have sworn that I did... regardless, words!

I've been playing since the 80s. Started with FFI, though I didn't fully understand it at the time. Didn't REALLY get into the series until FFVI hit the SNES though - then I went back and grabbed IV. Never owned a PSX myself, so I missed out on that entire generation until the PS2 came around (except for FFT, played that at a friend's house multiple times, even bought my own memory card). Then I ended up getting FFVII on PC, then VIII and IX on PS2, and kept up with every single release on each console after that point. I went back and got VII for the PSX later, just so I'd have that in the format to match its friends.
