Memory of ElinDotsya

Original link: Here

I was 8 when it came out in the US, but didn’t play it until I got it for PC in 2001. To say that I was blown away is an understatement. I was born in a 2nd world country, so we didn’t know anything about computers until 1995 when we came to the US for the first time. I pretty much grew up playing the same games as the Atari 2600 and NES generation. All those old games are just as nostalgic for me as to the old school players 10 years my seniors, lol.

Anyway, then this FF7 game comes along and it just blows my mind as I have never played a single RPG until then (relatives mainly played platformers and/or puzzle games, etc). All those games could be beaten in under an hour, lol.

I remember that indescribable feeling I got from Final Fantasy VII. By the time I got out of the Midgar freeway, I thought to myself, “getting ready for the credits screen Well, I wonder if there will be a sequel anytime soon.” Then the overworld screen appears and… my eyes were just like 0.0 “Wait…you mean there’s more?!!?” Totally did not expect that.

Yes, the 3 discs should have been an indicator, but at that time CD-ROMs were known to hold data on several discs, so I just assumed that it was all part of the installation process (somehow). I was 12, leave me be :()

I’m getting goosebumps from the memories.
