Final Fantasy: What got you started?

I was 8 or 9 when I started playing Final Fantasy, I played Final Fantasy VI on SNES (FFIII back then) briefly, but Final Fantasy VII was the one I played serious when it first came out back in 1997.

I can't believe it's been 10 years already, I was 9 years old playing Final Fantasy VII when it first came out lol

Final Fantasy 7 .. 'nuff said ..420Token420

ahh, the day i played a FF game, it all started in a clear sunny day,,,
well yeah my bro bought the game and he doesnt like RPG, so i snatched it (btw its FFX) and played it, loved every single second of the game, sincethen ilovec RPG!

Final Fantasy Mystic Quest for SNES.

It was $10 cheaper than other SNES games and was supposed to be not as hardcore. I wasn't too into turn based RPGs back then so I went for that one. It was a good time, then I let my cousin use it and someone at his house went over my game save. I never played it again after that.

I think I played my first FF game when I was 12 or 11 im 19 now. It was FF7 and was the first RPG I ever played. I didint know what the hell I was doing at first, but I got the hang of it. FF7 took my RPG cherry and thats why it will always be number 1 in my heart.finalfantasy94

I owned a N64 and it was FFVII that got me to purchase a PS1. FFVII was the best (of the ones I have played) of the series. It had the best story line I have ever seen in a game and I have never found a game that can top it. I purchased FFVIII when it came out, but the story line was very boring to me and I ended up not finishing it because I just lost the interest.

I haveseen this question before in other forums, but for what was the best game ever, and I've seen alot of people put FFVII in their list of best games they have ever played. I actually recommend FFVII to anyone that has not played it.

I was maybe 8 or 9 years old and played the very first FF on NES. That got me started. You created four dudes, wizard (i think), fighter, thief....don't remember if there were others.Mujambo

The classes: Fighter, Thief, Black Belt, Black mage, white mage, red mage.

As for me, I got started a long time ago on FF for the NES and FF II/IV for the SNES. I actually have never played 7 (shocking, I know) because I never owned a PS1...I didn't get into Playstation until the PS2. The first RPG I then bought for my PS2 was FF VIII, which I hated. That turned me off of newer FF games until I watched some friends play FFX, which I have since played. I actually thought FF XII was even better than X (which had it's fair share of flaws), and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for FF XIII.

One of these days I might try and go play FF VII, but with all the hype surrounding it, I'm afraid I won't like it because I'll be expecting too much. I ended up hating Chrono Cross because I was comparing it to Chrono Trigger, and it seems to me that FF VII won't live up to the bar that I think was set with FF VI.

Final Fantasy VI was the start for myself and I still find it equally as epic as I find FFVII - greatest game for my personally :)

The first FF I played was FF VIII.... And I loved it. It was so cool that I have noother option than start searching for other Final Fantasies (I only had PlayStation, so my choices were very limited).

Then I played Tactics... That was a hell of a game! Truly worthy of the Final Fantasy name. Then came IX... I like it but not as much as VIII.... It was so... So... So childish? The history was good but no great. And I waited for FFX to be released on PS2.

OMG... This is not the first time I post on this forum that FFX is my favorite FF. I cried like a little child playing that game... It was so beautiful and the story so sad... Incredible experience.

When I finished X, I went to amazon.com to buy FF VII... At first... I could not play it. The graphics were UGLY AS HELL (yeah, to play 7 after playing X...). But I forced myself to play it and I was blown away. This is the most incredible adventure I have ever played...

Then came X-2... I prefer to not write anything about it... And XII... I like it very much, but not as much as VII, VIII or X. Now I'm waiting for XIII.

Believe it or not but it was thanks to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance(GBA), which got me started. I liked it so much that decided to buy FF X and from the moment I put that disc on my PS2 I fell in love with the series. FF XIII and MGS4 were the reason I bought a ps3. I haven't play FF III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII and FF IX. I have FF I and II for the psp, FF XII and Ididn't buy XI. I'm going to get FF T for psp soon and the ones that I don't have hopefully at fair prices and in good conditions (FF VII cost between $70.00 and $298.99 at Amazon:shock: ).

maoman

hahaha i loved that into too pretty sick

Phantasy Star 4 on genesis was my first RPG unless you count LoZ as an rpg. After Phantasy Star I was looking for another great RPG and my buddy tipped me off to FF2 US. I became obsessed and dived straight from that into FF3. I also loved 7, thought 8 was ok and loved 10. For me 12 was a complete disapointment. FF13 will make or break the series for me.
