Welcome here, all of you who claim to be Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy IX and Final Fantasy X fanatics! This page is my last creation and it' s just a brief ( and a little humouristic ) description of the one who is behind the stage of this site: the author, as DFAT, as me! But it' s not over here: at the end of the page, you will be able to find some portraits of the people who contributed to the creation of this site, or gave their help for the solution of some in-game quests. So, I pray you not to leave at once this page but to take a look at what I put in, with the hope you can have a bit of fun while reading it.

" All hope abandone, ye who enter in "

DFAT comments: he was one of my best friends at the comprehensive school, but the friendship I had with thim has long since faded away

Other features: he was the only friend of mine that could compete with me in fighting games, and this was a non-indifferent quality.

Other features: he is the boy with the biggest bunch of female " friends " I' ve ever seen! But he is also greatly skilled in everyhting related to maths & physics, and with his uncountable number of " 30 e lode " in a row, he has obviously deserved the nickname " The Machine "

Other features: his enormous experience for RPGs, especially for the Final Fantasy Series, makes him a landmark to everyone who is needful of help and advices about the very games he did not hesitate to beat.
