<-----Been hooked since FFI. I got that game and could not put it down. First game I ever bought a strategy guide for as well. This game basically got me hooked on JRPGs and though I don't get around to them nearly as often as I used to, I have been able to finish a few lately: Legend of Legacy, Fantasy Life, all 3 of the Fire Emblems, and a couple of eShop JRPGs.
I am currently enjoying the hell out of World of Final Fantasy, and in fact, looking at this versus what I've seen and the demo of XV, I'm not actually looking forward to it. It's become to "actiony" for this old-school gamer.
