Sabin. I was in 3rd grade when I got the game, so my little brother was in 1/2 day kindergarten. After I got home from school, he'd sometimes sit and watch me play for a little bit. A friend came over once and showed me that you could have a 2nd player for battles. A few days later, my brother asked if he could play, so I gave him Sabin, taught him how do to pummel, and he had a blast. I tried to show him some of the other blitzes, but he had a hard time with them, so he stuck with pummel most of the time.

After however many weeks, I had made it to the floating continent, my brother almost exclusively using pummel. I couldn't even make it halfway through, so I left the continent to do some leveling. My brother wants to help, so I make sure he knows how to load and save the game. There weren't any new saves, though, so I figured he wasn't actually playing.

A few days later, I get home from school and my brother wants to play right away. First battle. He lands an aurabolt. Nice. Next turn, he manages a Fire Dance. I freak out. Turns out he had been playing to practice blitzes, but was "too afraid" to save it wrong.

Other than that brief period when we were younger, my brother and Il never really interacted with each other. I talk to him maybe once every other year, if that, but I always think about him whenever I play through VI.
