I think Final Fanasty is a bit overrated. I acknowledge the significance of the series and its impact, but I never played them when they first came out, so once final Fanasty 7 came out I looked at it and thought ugghh.
One day far after that, I tried playing Final Fanasty thinking "why not?". I put it down after the princess gets kidnapped, again. I really want to like the games, but I just haven't yet. Maybe I'll give it a try again after my move.
