That was the first Final Fantasy game I played all the way through. And the first one I owned. It will always hold a special place in my heart.
Note: I was a teenager when that game released, and I related hard to Squall's emo attitude toward everyone and everything. I thought he was so cool. Replaying it as an adult though, I cringe every time Squall has to interact with anyone. He's basically a whiny baby who only has friends because a bunch of people decide to ignore his antisocial tendencies and indulge his emo behavior. Nobody would tolerate him in real life. Why did I like this character?!
