My first Final Fantasy game was FF8. Up to that point i didn't even know what an RPG game was. Me and my friend called it the reading game and we didn't play it for a like a year thinking it was a boring educational game trying to be cool (my god were we wrong). At the time i had a 64 and gameplay was everything to me so I didnt care about the story and my friend cared even less. Well he must have been bored one day because he played the game a little further and thats when we encountered summonings. Holy shit we were immediately hooked. we would only use that to beat monsters and because we didnt understand the game thats all we would do. summon ifrit, now shiva, now quezacotl. over and over again. little by little we started to learn that some monsters can absorb certain elements so we tried using other stuff instead of summonings like magic (we rarely attacked we thought it was a waste and that all the power was in magic and summoning). and then after beating the boss right before the spider robot (which was a hurdle for us) we actually tried to learn the game. I had never known of the previous game. Until I reached High school during the ps2 era did i learn about the previous final fantasy games. Thats when i learned about FF7. so technically I was a fan after FF7 but not because of FF7.
