Greetings!
Hiya~ My name's Mizu. While I've been a Japanese game/anime/manga/you-name-it fan for practically my entire life, I actually jumped on the Nihon Falcom train pretty late. I started off as a Ys fan, but was then alerted to the existence of Sora no Kiseki when Ys vs Sora no Kiseki news started coming out. My interest piqued, I did a lot of research online, then decided to try one of the games out (the Third being the first SnK game I got my hands on). End result? I became obsessed with the series XD.
What do I love most about Falcom games? It's a mix between the stories, the characters, and of course, the music. Got to love the Falcom JDK band. I vastly prefer the Snk/ZnK series to Ys (mostly due to storyline and characters), but the music is awesome across the board ^-^. Seriously, there's no such thing as a bad Falcom track; just some tracks that are better than others. As for my top five favorite Falcom characters:
1. Lowe (SnK)
2. Renne (SnK, ZnK)
3. Lechter (SnK, ZnK)
4. Chester (Ys)
5. Joshua (SnK, ZnK)
...What'cha talking about, I'm not biased >_>
My first Nihon Falcom merchandise was a copy of Ys VI: Ark of Napishtim for PC. After beating the game (and loving every bit of it), my Ys craze grew until... Well, until I discovered the Sora no Kiseki series. And then that kinda took over XD. But! I still love Ys :D. This is where living in Florida (or the middle of nowhere in New York when I'm in school) AND not having a stable source of income really bites, as 1) I have to get all of my stuff online, and often from Japan (using deputy services) and 2) I, er, have no stable source of income. Not to mention the fact that I also collect Rikkai (Prince of Tennis) stuff. As such, my collection's growth is relatively slow - but! I'm doing the best I can ^-^.
It's been nice meeting you, and I hope you have a pleasant stay~
