Hi Dark, Oh, that could be. As I said my experience with Final Fantasy was early on in the game's history, and by the time it got better I couldn't play it so could never get into it like everyone else could. By the time Final Fantasy 7 came along I was already getting into text adventures etc and loving them more than the big budget rpg games like Final Fantasy. As far as the Xenogears novelization goes I wasn't talking about your work at all. I was actually talking about the professionally written novelization of the Xenogears game/games. If you haven't read them then they are indeed a good read. As I said as a story goes they were pretty good, and I can like the books and the fan fiction while not getting into the game too much.
