I'm a sap when it comes to video games. I NEVER cry when watching films... I only seem to get *that* moved when either reading a book, or playing a video game...
I've been able to summarize the WHY of this, for myself anyway; you become involved with games and books, because they require something from you, wether it's putting pictures to words or making choices for your character in the storyline.
And yes, I thought Rinoa was utterly cute, intelligent, and full of life - I'd take her out in a snap. I also felt an attachment to Squall as his character "changed", not to mention he's hot for a bunch of pixels. I sing Radical Dreamers all the time... and Sora...
I get excited when I hear of a new final fantasy game too. I don't cream my pants or anything, but I smile and feel the anticipation.
Yer a GAMER, get over it :
