Thanks a lot--I'll definitely look into it.

Thanks. Actually, this is "General Discussion" where you can "Discuss anything from the DEF INT command to the meaning of life!"

I heard in FF9 you can't usually go back to places you've been before. Is this true? I enjoy going back and visiting towns and areas in FF7.

Hey, I'm only about one hour away from finishing Final Fantasy VII, and seeing as our local used videogame store is having a half-off sale tommorrow, which one should I get next? I've done my research, I know they all have nothing to do with each other and that FF7 is the best one, but what's everyb...

Hey, I know this was an old post, but I just noticed it now. I downloaded Tower of Fortune awhile ago expecting some lame app but instead found it to be really nicely done and professional. Good work! I was very impressed.

Hey,
