"You don't need a reason to help people" ~ Finding Your Purpose in Final Fantasy IX

RPGfan: "For me, a video game is truly something special when you can take something away from it. The games I've made the deepest connections with throughout my life are ones that (perhaps in a cliché way) have changed my outlook on life. I had eased into RPGs with the likes of Pokémon and Dark Cloud, two series that aren't very story heavy. Then two games came along at once that changed my life. These were two adventures that would stick with me for the rest of my life, and shape me as a person. They satisfied my appetite for learning, and my desire to constantly improve. They taught me very important life lessons. The first of these was Skies of Arcadia, which taught me to never give up and always strive for more. The second, and most important, was Final Fantasy IX."
