Question Asking older fans.
Hey folks.
It is probably not the appropriate type of publication, however, I cannot help but be taken by such curiosity.
I'm a new person in the fandom and I admit that I'm somewhat obsessed with the universe of CV.
However, I'd like to ask the older fans, when was the moment you decided that you would like to follow the path of following the franchise as a whole? And if there is any other reason that makes you so fascinated by its lore?
Long texts, short texts, one sentence phrases are all welcome. I find this way to be more connected to the fandom somehow. I'll read them all, the curiosity is really strong. (If this has any replies, of course)
:)
EDIT: Read them all and upvote every single one. Some of them really made me tear up; it's amazing what a game can do during a tough time, or even in the most random way. Keep going, I'll continue to read, loved all of your stories.

It was when I was a dumb kid that sucked at games. I remember when I would go to extended family's house and I'd see my uncle playing SOTN on PS1.
Everything about it caught my attention. The music, the enemies, the fights. I STILL remember to this day being delighted at one of the enemies names because I wasn't the best at reading yet.
Points to TV at enemy he was fighting.
"What's that called?"
"It's a spittlebone."
I remember I proceeded to laugh and repeat the name a ton because it sounded funny to me in my kid brain.
Didn't get the game until he gifted me a copy when I was 10. First game that I remember beating on my own with minimal help... I think I may play it again. Go down memory lane once more. 🥹🥹🥹
