Hey, I didn't actually think about the King's Field section for KF related stuff, hah.
/On topic
I'm interested to know how you all found out about King's Field, since it's the sorta game that doesn't really shout out much against other titles in a video store or what ever you've got to buy games in!
I've got a rather awkward story myself, but since I'm asking I guess I should share mine.

When I was younger (13), in 2008, I used to go through pretty bad depression, parents were getting divorced all that crap, blahblah lets skip forward... I ended up in hospital, and after that they didn't think I could be trusted around myself, so they put into another place where they'd tell you life was pink and full of flowery situations where everything goes your way...
They had an entertainment area, no idea why since non of the other ones did... It had a PS2, and a small collection of PS1 and PS2 games. In that collection were King's Field I, and King's Field: The Ancient City.
I liked to go and watch people play through games there, and one day I saw them playing King's Field, and the graphics looked impressive so I watched for a while. By the time They got into the Ancient City area, I was hooked on the game.
I didn't get the chance to watch the other King's Field, since I got to leave shortly after and they only reached the second part of of the tower. After that, I set out to play all thing's King's Field -- I found the SoM forums in late 2010/early 2011, and I pretty much got to play everything King's Field because of this site, including finding out that there was an american and japan only release which looked great.
For me I guess you could say that King's Field is a type of anti depressant, which is kinda odd when you think about it, but works.
