Fantasy Curious

I have been a fan of the Final Fantasy series since the release of VII on the original PlayStation in 1997. I have fond memories of playing that game during my undergraduate years and since I had never played any Japanese role playing games before it, the game felt fresh both in its narrative and gameplay. I was able to relate to the whole Tifa-Cloud one-sided love situation because well, it was not easy being gay during those years for me. After VII, I pretty much would induct anything FF into my Game Library and when Square Enix started transitioning these games to the Personal Computer, specifically Steam, I do my best to support them. With the recent new release of the "Pixel Remaster" series of the early FF games, I took a screenshot of my FF collection on Steam to admire it all and to remind me that the PC is the ultimate place for all gamers.

We all need a little dose of fantasy every now and then.

When the remake of Final Fantasy VII finally comes out on the PC, it's probably going to be an Epic Games Store exclusive though but if the price is right, I am okay to have that one over on that platform. Remember, I don't have the Steam derangement syndrome, also known as Steamoroids, where one can only purchase PC games on Steam and nowhere else. As a matter of fact, my Kingdom Heart PC series is already building up on EGS. I can wait until they actually completed the VII remake however - which is going to be an unnecessarily long process - and who knows, maybe by then, the "Complete Edition" will get a simultaneous release on both EGS and Steam.
