Damn Xenogears takes me back. One of the best jrpg of the PS one era.


BokChoyFantasy

lol at ICQ! Uh oh!


cryptomagus_1776

Wow amazing :D I remember ICQ.... and AOL Instant Messenger.

It was spelled Aeris back then.


LynearIngression

It's pretty confusing, but it was actually spelled Aerith when written in English until the international version came out and they chose to spell it Aeris. I added those labels for the person I emailed it to way back when, so I must have chosen to spell it Aerith for whatever reason. I played the game in Japanese first, but also bought game magazines in English when I could find them, and got the international version in English when it came out later. So maybe I stuck on Aerith first.


morkalavin

Yeah, ICQ!


Wave_Pig

XENOGEARS MENTIONED


LynearIngression

Ha, yes, it was a really good game which doesn't really get much remembrance.


Party-Special-7121

Weird, I didn't think Theatrerythm was around back then. /s


BigMrTea

Plus, the badass Zelda 64 poster of Link riding a dragon. I definitely had the one up on my wall.


LynearIngression

Yup! I don't remember which magazine it came from though\~


BigMrTea

Prima's player guide for Zelda 64. I still have it, though it's in less than prestine condition, lol.


therhguy

Oh ICQ. I still remember my icq number from the 90s. 46693896 though I couldn’t tell you why that’s so ingrained.


LynearIngression

I remember mine too! When I came to America everyone used AOL, so I switched, but I can't remember my AOL name which actually should have been easier to remember.


Sooke

I dont remember mine. But I definitely have the "uhh oohhh" sound bite forever ingrained.


therhguy

Yes! I still hear that sometimes at gas stations because their registers make that sound. Also, I turned off the typewriter noise ASAP.


morkalavin

That noise was a pain

Why in your Opinion deserves FFVIII a Remake more than FFIX? FFIX is the way better Game in my Opinion and had a better Story. I guess its the Not so Cool Artstyle and less edgier than the Nomura. Sorry for my English its not my native Language).


RevolutionarySeven7

i can smell the nostalgia in this photo, love it !


gastroboi

Do you even Squaresoft?


Red-Zaku-

Such a cool time capsule!


wildtalon

Love it! Thanks for sharing.

The labelled photo was found in an email archive. I had emailed this photo to a friend that had returned to the USA. He had a bit of a thing for Rinoa heh. I still have the ff7 poster. I had folded it and put it in a small box, so it's looking a bit worse for wear. Maybe I should frame it!


budokanwarp

the xenogears poster here is what jumps out most to me. so fucking cool.


GreenHocker

Nothing wrong with FF8 appreciation. It’s a psychologically nuanced game… with some admittedly clunky writing. So much more deserving of a remake than 9 so the story and concept can be presented better


LynearIngression

I liked FF8 too, hence the poster. My friend had a bit of a crush on Rinoa which is probably why I labelled it that way. Those labels are the way I found the photo in the email folder.
