The PS2 turns 20 today! It was this day in the year 2000 that the PS2 first released in Japan (it would later come to North America in October of that same year). It seems like just yesterday I?d saved up enough money to go buy the console for myself. Of course, paying for the console didn?t leave me with any extra money, but I was just happy to have the new Sony PlayStation. The second one! The one that was even better than the first. I played my old PS1 games on it via backwards compatibility. I watched DVDs because I now had a TV and console in my bedroom. And then eventually, I?d start an ever-growing collection of my own games for the platform.
If the original PlayStation laid the foundation of my love of console gaming and PlayStation itself, then the PS2 cemented it. I?ll always have a vivid history and love of Final Fantasy VII (and VIII), but when Final Fantasy X came along" Whew, a full voice-acted Final Fantasy with incredible graphics" It was unbelievable (and he will always be ?Tee-dus? for me). Final Fantasy XII" Again, I couldn?t believe how far things had come for this series.
