Haha, yeah, I personally started with 6 and went back to 4. It really is hard to appreciate games going backwards because of the bar being raised and just the first time you pick up one of the good FF games, it just has a way of really grabbing you.
Roll is right, the hype for 7 was HUUUUUUGGGGGEE and I can't tell you how much of a rabid fanboy I was of SquareSoft at the time. When the tech demo came out, I played it so often on my computer I'm surprised I didn't burn out the HD; I was just so incredibly excited for 7. When it was announced that it would be a PS exclusive, it was THE system seller for me, and I, like I'm sure many others, bought the system with the anticipation of all the goodness Square would bring to that console. Oh how we were not let down!
I did love 9, but not nearly to the extent of the people who started with it. FF8 did a good job of softening the excitement for 9, so my attitude going into it was a lot more mellow. But! I do love FF-X2! I can't believe how much crap this game gets, I thought it was lighthearted and the job system was so fun!! Pie never did end up playing it and I want to play it through with her someday soon so she can see how cool it is.
