Walked into a shop with some money OR rather with my parents money OR with my parents (one of the three).
Was looking to buy a game for my PS1.
This was probably round about the time FF8 was released.
So yeah back in the day i use to buy games at random, check the covers out, check the boxart, check the pictures on the back, read the story etc. So yeah i saw FF8 checked it out and i was like ok lemme give this a try.
Got home...and i was like wtf is this shit???
Haha then i started playing it, beat and got ifrit then i was sold :D The awesome gaurdian/aion scenes really got me. And on top of fighting them you get to use them in battle! The game was always confusing to me though, and the 2nd disk starts slowly so i didnt play it as much as i should have. But thats what sparked my interest in the series. Been a fan ever since.
Gone are the days of buying random games based on the boxart....was always a hit and miss affair. I remember i bought Enchanted Arms for the ps3 this same way. Never the fuck bought random games after that.
