Thanks for chiming in! Honestly, Materia is the thing I find most intriguing in the game, so I may stick around to see how that develops.

Ah ok thanks. I don't think I played VIII, then.
It's so well regarded, I kinda feel like I'm missing something. I remember bring really excited about it when it came out, since I had played all the FF releases in the US up to that point. However, I had gotten a computer so I could play Diablo, so my parents would not shell out for a PlayStation.
I ended up playing it some at a friend's house, but right away I was not impressed. I've always guessed that its success was linked to the success of the PlayStation, and I think it introduced a lot of people to FF. Hell, if I didn't have the amazing games from NES and SNES to compare it to, I probably would have been a fan.
Ok thanks! I'll stick it out until Costa Del Sol.
I played VIII and IX years ago on roommates' consoles. IX I really remember loving the story and characters, but I didn't remember the combat at all. I don't remember much about VIII, but I know I played the hell out of Blitzball.
Thanks. Yeah, I really wanted to like it.
I remember feeling underwhelmed by it as a kid when it first came out, but I never got a PlayStation. For the time, the art style and graphics were really cool, but the menus and combat system really felt like a step down for me, especially considering how awesome VI was.

So very heartwarming the ethnic cleansing has been for Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, and the Western hegemonic powers happily letting it go on to keep Azeri oil flowing cheaply.
Yes, it's a relief that the war is ending, but do not construe this as some fairy-tale ending.
It's an extraordinarily racist and ignorant posture to take. African American Vernacular English is a widely known dialect at this point and is really interesting to learn about.
Is it really? I've always understood the cult around it as a joke.
But seriously, RTFM.
