yeah lol, when it comes to ff7 i agree that my views are tilted because of the time i played it. didn't get to play video games as a kid though. had to wait till high school.

i can see ff9 as an INFP game . there is a lot of magic and stuff along with a theme of innocence that an INFP can enjoy. garnet really wasn't my favorite character though. she's a princess summoner with white magic. she's cherished by all but wants her own adventure. how formulated can you get? once again, this is just my personal opinion, i'm not gonna challenge anyone based on personal preferences .

i agree that chrono cross is a completely different game to chrono trigger. what pisses me off is that they tried to continue the story. if the same members of the dream team were there would never have agreed to put such a dark spin on things. it's not that i don't like dark themes, but that brand of 'cruel fate' just did not match the dragon quest atmosphere of chrono trigger. i wouldn't like it even if it was a separate series altogether, but i think i would respect it more. i really don't like it the way it is. on top of the 'corruption' of its predecessor, it also has a really small map (bigger worlds bring mystery), it has way too many characters (makes character development difficult) and the game at the latter stages is way too easy.

hmm I like games with many characters. I don't know why but it makes the game more interesting and fun for me. They all can contribute to the storyline and they all have different personalities and their own little story.(it depends on the game I think.. some suck at developing all the characters). That's personally why I like chrono cross,suikoden,fire emblem, arc the lad, and xenogears. all the characters are unique (have their own way of fighting etc.). suikoden in particular is very good with all their character development and interaction between them. oh and you get to see different perspectives too which is neat. Sometimes games where you are stuck with 3-4 people for the whole game get boring especially if I don't find one character I like in the bunch.(like ffx-2.. only yuna,paine, and rikku. only 3! just about them the wholle tiiime. o.o gets kinda boring.. at least have like 6+ characters lol)

oh and I liked garnet just because :o she was cute! lol annnd a whitemage/summoner (I like whm) she was really strong when I used her. I uuused Steiner, the monkey kid(forgot his real name), Garnet, and Vivi.

If anyone here likes rpgs that are kind of wiiierd and umm dark. Xenogears has a mysterious, deep, and unique storyline/characters. :o Although you might be confused most of the time lol.. it was an awesome game (at least to me).

Don't really play anymore, but most of my favorite games from the N64 are listed already.

Goldeneye
Perfect Dark
Ocarina of Time

Civilization: Call to Power
Battlefield 1942
Desert Combat
Halo maybe.

That's it. I usually just like to play other people, so shooters work the best because it's not so time consuming. It's quick fun.
