only my first time through.... but then before i could play through again (this was like years ago...) i was talkin to my dad on the phone about the game and he told me that if i waited i would get to keep shadow, so i was like cool

Your dad is awesome, seriously. My dad is too, but he doesn't have Final Fantasy tips for me.

As for the initial question, the first time I played through I didn't wait for Shadow. Mainly because I was younger and dumber back then.

that is awesome. at the least, i wish my dad didn't spaz at me for "wasting all my time on a dumb machine" (the sad part is, i only spend 5 hours a week on videogames)

I waited the first time because I was curious as to why the heck it asked me to wait. So I'd assumed that I'd eventually get something out of it, and though I didn't realize it, I did, I kept Shadow alive. Later, before I was proceeding towards the final boss I read some FAQs to help me prepare. Then I'd learned that not waiting for Shadow caused him to die.

I'd never used him, but I plan on using him in the replay I'm working on.

FFIVDS looks awesome, right? Especially the character scans. I mean, look at that CGI scan of Yang. You see it and you just think...badass. And then you look at his polka-dot pants, likely stolen from a Dr. Seuss book. And then you just...shiver.
