It’s funny, growing up, I loved Square’s RPGs, but I really only played two of them - Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 6 (originally released as 3 in the US).  They just left THAT MUCH of an impression.  And not just on me, they profoundly affected Dan as well.  Alas, Nintendo losing the license to the Square games resulted in my losing out on playing the games as they came out.  It was the main motivation for me buying a used Playstation in college and for eventually getting a PS2.  I’ve played way more on my PS3 (which I’ve only had for about a year - 2 years max).  Why?  Because I kinda lost the somewhat infinite free time I had in my youth.  On top of that, when I’ve played through 7, 9, and parts of 8 and 10, I start to wonder if maybe these games were more amazing to my middle school self than they would ever be to my adult self.
