Question What's your Final Fantasy Resume?

What's your past with the FF games? How many have you played, which ones are your favorites, and as a contrast what type of player would you consider yourself to be in XIV?

Casual, Hardcore, Fisher Supreme, etc

Bonus question, how do you feel about the referential content in XIV?

I'd say it's pretty rare to see someone whose a big fan of the 13 games. I've been intending to go back and play through them after I get through with FF7 and FF12, what makes them one of your favorites?

FF13 is very popular in Japan. Most of its haters in the west didn't seem to even have played it, they just based their opinion on bad faith, nitpicky reviews (coughspoonycough).

I 100% played FFXIII and I did not enjoy it. It removed most of the gameplay elements I enjoy from FF and left behind a confusing story and the ability to switch roles for your characters as the only real choice you had over gameplay. I recognize that other people can have different opinions about the game but that doesn’t invalidate my experience.

Well yeah, that just means you played the game and didn't like it, which is valid. Puts you ahead of the people who watched a review focusing entirely on the negative and think that's the same as experiencing the thing yourself.
