Hello Hello!

[Theozilla]

Hello, just saw this section of the forum and wanted to make a more formal introduction. Just some background info on myself: I am currently a college student and have never played a single Final Fantasy game ever, but a few weeks ago after watching Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete online, my interest in the Final Fantasy mythos (specifically FFVII) was instigated.

As for general media background/interests I am bit of anime/cartoon and comic nerd (all types of comics, manga, serial American comics, superheroes, European comics such as Asterix and Tintin, and then indies like Maus, The Walking Dead, etc. and the Studio Ghibli films are some of my favorite movies) so I know of the perils of potential flame wars from sites like Comic Book Resources and IGN. And as my name and avatar may indicate I am also a big Godzilla fan.

I have extensively researched/learned about Final Fantasy (specifically FFVII) from sources including: wikipedia, the Final Fantasy Wiki, FFVII:ACC movie, the SquareEnix site, watching gameplay walkthroughs and cutscenes of FFVII on Youtube, translated creator interviews, Ultimania excerpts, listened to The Lifestream.net's audiobook productions (which really impressed me and is partially why I signed up to these forums), watched Reminiscence of Final Fantasy VII, and read many of The Lifestream.net's articles

Oh and also you should play FFVII. There's a group play-through going on right now. They aren't too far in so it shouldn't take long to catch up.

Ah, I wish I could but unfortunately being in college at the moment I have no access to a PS3 or TV; also the only console I have owned is a Nintendo Wii and a Nintendo DS Lite. I guess that speaks to the strength of FFVII's story/mythos of being able to get me interested in without have ever played it? Of course I was always vaguely aware of the impact that FFVII (specifically Aerith's death) had on gaming since it always gets put on media sites' Top 25 or 10 lists related to video games. And I was already familiar with the aesthetic visual of the FFVII characters due to having read the Kingdom Hearts manga (since some of them appear in it).

You'll fit in nicely here I daresay. When you get away from college I compel you to get hold of FFVII and play it thoroughly (as opposed to bombing your way through and missing so many brilliant little bits like the side games and the perils of chocobo breeding).
Oh yeah, welcome an' shit.

Did I hear something about human cookies?! No one gave me such cookies when I was new! This is an injustice!

Welcome to TLS! Abandon all hope, ye who enter here!

Your introduction sounds like you're applying for a job here. Well, if you were, and I were in a position to say such, I'd go "You're hired", and then say "I quit" because there's far less FF / general fandom stuff in my imaginary resume.

.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome! Are you a video games enthusiasts?

Hmmm, I enjoy video games, but I don't think I would be considered a hardcore gamer. I am definitely a animation and comic fan though.

 

[Super Mario]
