I'll have to assume you meant Final Fantasy IX, as; a) Final Fantasy XI was a PS2 game originally and; b) I can't, for the life of me, believe that a non-gamer could fall in love with Final Fantasy XI.
As something of an aside, since this topic now serves no point, a few Christmases ago my wife independently researched and gifted games with good reviews that she knew I didn't own, despite the fact that she doesn't even remotely resemble a "gamer." Now that's love.

Oh yeah? Well my ex-fiancee bought me an MVS for my birthday a couple of years ago.
My wife also bought me a Pop'n Music ASC (though I had to pick it out - it's pretty damn obscure, even for gamers) for my birthday a few years ago, as well as a gaming laptop this last Christmas. I was most impressed with the games, however, because I didn't allude whatsoever that I wanted them and because she did so much research to pick out good games that I wouldn't expect. It was literally a case where I wouldn't own the games if she didn't pick them out.

Exactly. I remember this one female I was with really wanted one of those Sock Monkey things. I thought it was too expensive and didn't really see the point, but I still supported it with "If it makes ya happy, go for it."
I'd want the same consideration thrown onto me when I go to pick up the latest murder simulator.
Whether or not he's a troll, it's funny that most of you don't know the first thing about English or English grammar, and yet feel free to be prescriptive and judgmental over grammatical issues.

The "FUCKYOUBEAK" is silent...
