Your first Final Fantasy

[Bang Bang]

The first Final Fantasy I played was FF8. Never before had anyone recommended me the game or anything like that, it just happen to be a lucky pick. After that I decided to buy more Final Fantasies and I bought FF7 then FF9 (back and forward -_-).

My first FF was VIII as well. It was bought for my father who has absolutly no interest what so ever. Anyway i ended up playing it and done my best not to miss one since

My first was VII as my brother bought it when it was first released, I didn't have a PS at the time but made sure to buy it for myself when I got one.

Mine was VIII too. Then I went something like VII -> IX -> VI -> X.

VIII was the first time I'd seen Final Fantasy too, when I saw my cousin playing it.

Final Fantasy VIII is my first Final Fantasy, as you can well tell by the username, that I've had for rougly 5 years. All the rest of the time it was ~Rinoa~Siren~. It actually made me come visit these forums and many others. Not only did FFVIII get the pleasure of being my first Final Fantasy, it was also my very first RPG. Even 7 years after playing my first, I'm still hooked on the genre of videogames, and FFVIII was the main catalyst behind this.

FFVIII is my first Final Fantasy, as with Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete was my first RPG.

Geez... almost everyone here started with FFVIII >_>'. Well I sortenly wasn't a late bloomer to FF. My first was the original baby. FFI for the NES. I did'nt really get FFI for NES til like 1995 through, it was a present from my uncle. After FFI I went in order... somewhat lol. FFI>>> FFVII>>>FFV>>>FFVI>>>FFT>>>>FFVIII>>>>FFIX>>>>FFX> >>FFX-2 >>> FFTA>>>FFII ( when SOR came out )>>>FFXI>>>>FFXII>>>FFIII ( DS )>>>FFIV ( GBA ). Not really in order but that was my FF timeline lol.

I thought people started before VIII.

I started with VII. Me and my brother used to rent a game every week, and we happened upon it. I couldn't beat the Guard Scorpion due to the faulty advice given by Cloud or Barret.

I saved my allowance and bought it later. O, how that game felt the first time.

i started with 10.
i just thought it looked sorta interesting.
but that started something i didn't expect.

VIII.

I saw it in a magazine. The graphics made me choke. My sister got it, she played through, then we got VII, then IX, then VI... I did have X and IV, but I exchanged them with a buddy for some Silent Hill games.

I still have VI, VII, VIII and IX... I don't really play them these days though...

VIII and IX are still my favourites, though. Never really enjoyed VII too much. Hated it even more when people kept shoving it in my face, telling me how awesome it was.

[~FANTASY-ENDER~]

My very first Final Fantasy game that I ever play was Final Fantasy X-2. Ever since that time I've beaten Final Fantasies 7, 8, 9, 10, 10-2.

My first Final Fantasy was Mystic Quest. Still one of my all-time favorites. Played it back before I even knew what FF was. My dad picked it up in a garage sale. Ever since then I've been hooked on the FF name and have never looked back.

My First Final Fantasy game was number 8. Was when we were living with an old step-dad, he took total control of my playstation 1 and acted like it was his. He borrowed it from his friend and played it all the time, I also played aswell, It was an awesome game, best ps1 game I played at the time. Unfortunately after Mum left him he kept alot of the games so didn't have it for awhile, bought it a few years later though.

My first Final Fantasy game was VIII as well, I'm very glad it was too. I was going to start of with VII but I could not find a single new copy of it at any game stores so I saw VIII and decided on getting that instead. I am eternally grateful I did because I was addicted to that game from start to finish, it's just a wonderful game and it would have to be my favorite from the series. I don't think I could ever get sick of it, it's very special! The storyline, cast of characters, music and battle system is all great. It may not be perfect to a lot of people but I think it's very close to it! I simply adored it.

Wow... alot of late comers.

My first Final Fantasy was... the first one lol. My dad bought it the day it came out and I got to spend the next two weeks watching him play it. I wasn't allowed to play it until he beat it first. It was love at first [Press Star]
