![]() “I don’t know where it is right now.” Or “I did, but I still can’t do it.” I would reply: “Jess, did you read the book?” “John, in Final Fantasy _, how do you do _?” I filled in the book with all the information I knew from playing, and would send them to her. From then on, there was a new title purchased for her, with the book to go with it. I got my younger sister hooked on Final Fantasy with VII. I think it was there, my affinity for Final Fantasy was solidified. It has to be the best of the best, as far as Final Fantasy goes. Well, I got it too, (Wow, back when I could blow my entire check, and not worry about bills.) After playing II relentlessly for three weeks, I decided to get III, and give it another try. I told him I tried it, but I hated the whole machine things you were walking in. As I was buying it, the guy placed Final Fantasy III in front of me, and said, if you like II, I guarantee you will love this one. A year went by, and I found it at a swap meet. I had to have this game! As for that other title…I just simply forgot about it. I had it completed in two days of solid game play. I played II for over 15 hours, before I passed out the first time. Well, I took one look at III, and thought it was crappy as heck. I found Final Fantasy II in a rental store, along with Final Fantasy III one day, and got them. I took up a job there and thus continued my gaming, as well as getting my fill of Disney movies in a yearly rotation. It would be almost two years, before I could finally own this game. There were cool effects, great music, huge monsters, and what I found to be called summons. It was a chance shot at my Aunt’s house, that I saw what was known at the time as Final Fantasy II. ![]() It was fun, and all that, but I was really looking for something like the other Final Fantasy I had. ![]() I still have it to this day, and in working condition. In 1994, I bought my first and only Super Nintendo. But who knew? I certainly did not see this coming. Art, music, animation…the making of video games. I played trumpet in school, and for most of my time, I sat first chair. I have had the greatest desire my entire life to be an animator for Walt Disney Co. My first love though has always been drawing and animation. (But that is a story for later on.) I was hooked on games from then on out. Shortly after that, Mother brought me home a game called Castlevania. Yea, that seems like a very long time for the younger people who now play the games, but for the time, that was one difficult game. I finished that game about a month later. For me, it was the very beginning of everything. I think that was basically the end for her as far as Final Fantasy was concerned. ![]() I asked to see if I could figure it out, and she agreed. She was confused as all git, and there was no such thing as internet to find what to do. She could not find her way out of the sea you begin in. A few days later, I was watching, as my sister was getting frustrated. We were eager to play our games, and things were well. I remember I got Faxanadu, Mother got Tetris, and my sister Jami got a game called Final Fantasy. We were good at frequenting the pawn shop for movies, CD’s (got my first CD player that year) and now we were going to take a look at some games for the NES. We had finally gotten a Nintendo for Christmas from our mother. I can say the history of Final Fantasy Kingdom actually begins some 17 years ago, in a pawn shop on 43rd and Northern Ave, in Phoenix, Arizona. My name is John, otherwise known as Bahamut’s Kingdom. There is a great deal of history both within, and outside of Final Fantasy Kingdom, that has lead to its creation.
