Final Fantasy Republic has been in existance since June 2001, so we were among the first wave after the successful Final Fantasy IX release hit retail stores. I've been striving for a community that is enjoyed by everyone, anywhere, and by any legal method available. The heavily dense features available are there for member enjoyment and satisfaction. FFR was among the firsts to ideal a Battle System and successfully run one on any forum software.
Due to the growing age of Final Fantasy fansite communites, only a few sites in the fansite community can now say that they outlive FFR's birthdate.
For reference, I am 16 years old, not 15. Age shouldn't matter much as I am still in High School, working part time, existing an active life, and maintaining a community that many older owners cannot accomplish.
Thanks again for your compliment. Final Fantasy Discover and Final Fantasy Republic are very strongly affiliated sites in the community, as our origins are similar. It's great to know that we've made a difference.
