Lately I've been talking a lot about Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. Tonight I've been drinking a lot (Southern Comfort and Coke for those of you keeping track), so I thought I'd share the real reason on why I enjoy it so much. It's not because it's just a good game (and it is) or because it has a good story.
The real reason is pretty simple. The original FFIV was arguably my favorite game of the 16 bit era. There are only 2 or 3 games that even come close when I think about it. FFIV: TAY was done entirely in the 16 bit style of both graphics and music. And when I play it now it's very easy to pretend that I'm 15 years old again and living in a world where my biggest responsibility was passing Algebra II, instead of being a husband and father with a mortgage, job, and lawn that constantly needs attention.
I suppose there's something to be said for a game that can pull you out of the real world and put you back in a fantasy world huh?

Don't mow the lawn! The grass would prefer it after all.

As someone with pretty much the same issues going on in my life now, except the lawn, I wholeheartedly agree with you.

I can't think of a game off the top of my head that transports me back to my yoot.

You're 15 years old again ey? So your balls haven't dropped yet.
