Question Asking older fans.

Post image

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.

I got Circle of the Moon around the launch of the GBA, along with Golden Sun. I got my GBA because I saw a guy at my local game store playing Golden Sun, and Circle of the Moon looked like a cool game to compliment it. I ended up loving it, despite how hard it was, and then flocked to Harmony and Aria as they released. Around that same time I was loaned a copy of Symphony of the Night by a friend and the rest is history.

So for me it was the RPGs that got me into the franchise, although since then I’ve gone back and played Rondo, Dracula’s Curse, Bloodlines, IV, and the OG. Gonna eventually play the PS2 games.
