Express Yourself: Video Games!



Happy Tuesday! Welcome back to Express Yourself: a weekly meme created by Jackie @ Bouquet of Books and Dani @ Entertaining Interests.

Today is probably the easiest question in the WORLD for me: What is your favorite video game?

If you've followed me long enough, YOU even know the answer, lol. I loved these games so much I wrote a book in homage to them, after all. Since the creation of the Playstation, my favorite video games have been from the Final Fantasy franchise, a series of role-playing games that take you into a world typically on the verge of destruction, and a group of heroes are called on to save it.

While I'm here, the most popular question about Final Fantasy has always been: if it was the Final fantasy, how come there are more than one? And I can answer that now. The creator of Square Enix thought that their company was going to close, so they created the first Final Fantasy sort of as a last hurrah. But then, they didn't close, so now there are 14+ Final Fantasy games!

Of the FF's, my ultimate favorites are 10, 9, 8, and Crisis Core; and I LOVE the movie for 7: Advent Children. A great franchise if you love video games and story lines. :)

Hey:)

I'm nooooo video gamer, but I'm fascinated by those who do love playing the games you describe :)

I think it's because I am such a klutz that I *never* figured out how to press the A button and then the X or the Y button at the same time... and THEN they added more buttons on the other side... yikes :)

PS: Congrats and GOOD LUCK with the Query Kombat contest :)

That's the beauty of Final Fantasy: one button at a time! :D

(Thanks, Mark!)

I've always liked the look of Final Fantasy games, but I've never played them. My first exposure to them was Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within movie, which I rather liked.
