for me it all started in 1997, the release of ff7, proberly the best ff ever
i saw it at my neibours house and he said i could borrow it because i thought it looked intresting, It was!! I never gave him it back but about a couple of years, it broke so i went to the shops to buy it and thats when i noticed ff8 and 9, so i bought those to
and now i have them all!!

now its your turn to tell me and the other ff lovers how you got into final fantasy??

my dad. he had played all of the previous final fantasy's on NES and when he discovered that there was a final fantasy on the PS he went out and rented it. it took him 7 weeks to finish it without the guide, though he didnt get everything till the second time around. i always saw him playing it and i was mad because i was into the sport games and fighting games and he always hogged my PS that l bought. after about a year of having it i finally gave it a try and since have been an addict owning all from VII till X-2 and XI.

With FFVII. I don't really remember how, though. I played the old-school FFs after FFVII (bar III), then FFVIII, IX (*-*) and X.

my old friend. almost every day he'd invite me to his house (this was before ps2) he had the ps and i had n64. the first day i went over and he was playin ff7.i liked it so much i wanted to trade my n64 for a ps. about 3 or 4 years later i had a ps2 and completely forgot about ff until my dad downloaded old nintendo games onto our computer including ff1 and ff2 (not 4 today) and i got back into ff and bought ff10

Saw a picture of Vivi in a magazine, and thought he looked kinda cool, so I decided read the article. I though the game looked really cool, so I decided I'd buy. During the time I was saving up money, I visited a friend of mine and saw him play FFVIII. I thought it was pretty cool. On my birthday I was given FFIX as a gift. (I was also given FFVIII the same day). It was that day I discovered my love for RPGs.

i rented FFT, for two days, got about 1/8 done with the game....after that i didnt touch another FF for about 4 years and the next one i played was X, big drop off, but about a week after i got X i got VII and from there i was hooked.......about 3 years after that i finally got another copy of FFT and STILL havent beaten it

I joined a forum owned by a girl that did fanart of these 'FF' characters.

then a year later I asked my gamer friend what final fantasy was, so he sent me romz of the snes games. I played ff5 and loved it.

then I saw ffx at hastings, and rented it and a ps2 and was seduced by the sexy ps2 and got one of my own~

My friend used to come around quite often and everytime he came over he would bring FFVII. I usually just sat there and watched but there was one time he let me have a shot. Few months later he started to bring round VIII. Then IX. I always wanted an FF after that but didnt have a playstation. My friends parents owned a video shop and he said i could order the games for PC from him. I asked him to get me VII and Resident Evil 2. Well i ended up getting RE2 but not VII. About a year later i got a playstation (finally) and borrowed FFVIII from another friend. Best thing id ever played....from then i got hooked and bought all the ps FFs (including VI), downloaded the roms for IV and V, got a ps2 and got X and X-2 so yeah.....thats pretty much it

The first time I had heard of FF was when FF7 was coming out I seen it advertised on T.V,but the thing was that in the advertisements it showed the cut scenes and I thought christ the are brilliant graphics............a while after I rented it and I was dissapointed at first with the graphics....but I gave it time and I started to really enjoy it and then bought it......................ever since I've clearec it countless times*memories*............................. :rolleyes2

I got intrested in FF after playing chrono Trigger, so i um Downloaded all the Snes ff Roms. Now I only legally own 3 ff games.

[FinalBob42]

I played my first FF in 2004 (exactly a year ago). I'm mostly a PC Gamer and just had nothing better to do so I picked up FF7-9 (with an emulator) and FF10 (with a used PS2). Good times, played most of the games already in a year and they keep me busy

[Rase]

When I was five, my dad bought FFIV for some reason, and I played it and liked it. The end.

[DJZen]

Ah yes, I believe it was in the year 1993 for me. I had been the proud owner of Secret of Mana for a while and loved the hell out of it. I can't even tell you how many drawings of the elementals I made. Soon thereafter I went to our local video rental store (Movies Movies Movies, a local store that went out of business when Blockbuster moved in and I curse the day that happened!) to browse their titles. In the SNES rack I stumbled upon a slightly older Square game called "Final Fantasy Mystic Quest". I thought it was great fun, but a bit more challenging that I had expected (I was very used to platformers at the time, battle strategy was a new concept to me). Next thing I knew I was buying Final Fantasy VI (though it was called III at the time) and developing a whole new obsession.

Well, it was on 2001, when a friend of mine asked me, if I like Final Fantasy. But I didn't know what the game is look like. So I went one day to his house to play FF 8. That was my first FF. It was love at the first loading!

[ZuZu]

Don't remember the year but it was a long ago when my brother started to play FF8. I was looking when he played. "Stupid game", I said. But I just continued looking the game and it took about a year when I played my first game, FF7.

Now I actually love FF8 and other FF-games. After FF8, FF7 looked so stupid but I regret that I ever said that.
I'm hooked on Final Fantasy!

Thanks to my brother.
