You can say I’m too old and too late to finally welcome Final Fantasy into my gaming life. Well, it all started out when I finished playing Final Fantasy Crisis Core in PSP. Actually, I’m playing it all over again. The game has indubitably kickass storyboard, and Fine HD graphics particularly some videos (see first and last vids, but you need to finish the game in order to see the latter one ), so there’s no question to it that it’s worth all the heed. Oh yes, I’m yet in love again to adamantly follow this whole FF saga.

Why yet in love? It’s because I first stumbled upon Final Fantasy when the computer technician who fixed my PC then (now totally dead) included two Final Fantasy VIII videos. They seemed like music videos with its theme Eyes On Me by Nobuo Uematsu. There it mainly featured two protagonists of the series, Squall Leonhart and Rinoa Heartilly. The mesmerizing video somewhat arrested me. I researched stuff about it online, and downloaded pics and wallpapers to boot!

Yet, I didn’t play it on PS, nor PS2. I just thought it was too time-consuming, and I was all eyes then on Diablo II Expansion, Sim City 4 and Generals–which are mostly PC games.

Good thing, Sony launched PlayStation Portable, so I got ahold one. There came FF in my PSP. At first, I tried playing Final Fantasy Tactics, but I got sick of it and so I ditched the game instead. Then just recently, I tried out Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, and the rest is history!

Now, I got acquainted with Cloud Strife, Tifa Lockhart, Angeal Hewley, Sephiroth, Genesis Rhapsodos,
Aerith Gainsborough and of course, Zack Fair. I found the story morbid (esp. at the end), yet totally engrossing!

I also did watch Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children on Animax.

I bet my arse FF 8-14 is as exciting as this one!
