This isn't entirely accurate. Haven't you ever heard him sperging over Final Fantasy 6 as the pinnacle of jayarpeegeez. Outside the realm of cartoon fighting man vidya he holds it up alongside super turbo as his proof of no life hall pass. The same way in which he hates that each new fighting game iteration for not being a repackaged Super Turbo is the same way he feels about every Final Fantasy that came after VI.
FFVII bears the brunt of his wrath since it was alotta peepuls introduction to the genre and also a much bigger success while OG philomena was dedicating his all gayming time to fighting games. FFVI is the scrappy and superior underdog just like he is in his own mind so he's gotta back it for life even if it's shit.. which it is.
He has a rake of old consoles (because hoarder) and spent time in the early youtoob days going to conventions and filling out his poser vidya cartridge collection at the vendor booths. Not to say he played everything back in the day of course.. just the classics like Slam City with Scottie Pippen and Make my Video: Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch on Sega CD.
It would be more accurate to say he skipped alot of khantent through the jump from to 2D to 3D. I think he ran exclusively with Xbox when he did drop in and ignored just about everything across PS One, PS2 and the 360 was still his default machine by the time he started recordng for youtube.
My own original no life hall pass
