I grew up watching my brothers play games like Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior, and Wizards and Warriors. When I got a little older (around the time the Super Nintendo came out) I started my own escapades with Final Fantasy 4 and 6, Illusion of Gaia, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger and the like. I got so good at RPGs that I was the first out of all my siblings (6 older brothers) to make it to the second disk of Final Fantasy 7.
Not the biggest accomplishment, but still. Out of all those I'd say that Final Fantasy 6 (3 at the time... stupid US numbering system) has got to be my all-time favorite game. It's my foundation block.
