FFVIII and
FFIX, because that was right around the time I got my first "serious" boyfriend and both games were part of our relationship up until we broke up after about a year. Basically, I turned him on to the
FF series, and
VIII was his first one ever. So he totally fell in love with it, but I had been playing the series since the beginning and I wasn't all that happy with it. I guess on good days, I can find love for what
VIII does (I don't totally hate it in the first place). It suddenly became "our game" and we went as far as to buy the jewelry for Squall and Rinoa, and watch lame ass tribute videos set to songs like..."Everything You Want" by Vertical Horizon. *shudder* Just thinking about it irritates me already.
Eventually I got fed up with his "omg the graphics are so pretty I love Rinoa she's hot, Squall is so emotional and awesome!" and "all the FFs before this don't look very nice like this game so I don't want to play them." Add to that,
FFIX released and he again fell in love with that one (and with Garnet
) and I again was less than pleased with it. We eventually broke up, messy angry break up but nothing game related. But those games remind me of those times and it makes me feel sneh. Even now when I talk to my ex, he still tells me things like "playing FFIX reminds me of that wonderful summer with you..." which makes me feel weird since I didn't really like that game... For awhile after that I just flat out HATED both games out of prejudice and hate for him, but it's not like that now. They still aren't my faves but I'll be fair about them. Still got bad memories and feelings attached, though.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
