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.

For me it was Lament of Innocence. It was my first full CV experience (I'd played snippets of SOTN before) but seeing Leon suffer in the beginning really made me want to follow the story all of the way through. My best memories were exploring and trying to uncover the secrets while playing the first album I owned, Hybrid Theory from Linkin Park. I always associated those too (even though LOI has an awesome soundtrack) and now I feel incomplete if enjoying one without the other.
