When I’m thinking about my favorite RPG games, I tend to wonder which adventures I’d be able to get through. We all do it; after all, if Cloud can get his spikey-haired, sassy, brooding self to the end of an adventure against someone with the most luscious hair around, we must be able to do the same.
