Did you play this game in the series first?

[Spooniest]

I played this game first, so it bears the distinction of forming my opinions about the series to a large degree.

How about you? Was this your first Final Fantasy, as oxymoronic (or perhaps just plain moronic) as that statement is?

[The Man]

It was the first one I played, but not the first one I completed.

Not even close. Never having an SNES growing up, I had to skip IV and VI, and only got VII quite a while after it came out. I played them I, VII, VIII, V, VI, IX, IV...something like that.

[NeoCracker]

Indeed, it was among the first video games I'd played, and my very first RPG.

[Sephex]

It was the second one I played. I played the original Final Fantasy when it was released, and then this one a couple of years later since it was the second one to be released in the US. This was the first one I beat, however.

I still haven't played this game yet.

I still haven't played this game yet.
Weirdo. :p

I'm old enough to have played the 1st one 1st, really a game I just picked on a whim. I think this was the 2nd I played. I may have played Mystic Quest 2nd.

Actually, of the FFs I've played, it was the last one I got my hands on (on DS)!

[Wolf Kanno]

It was my second FF but it was the first FF I actually owned and beat.

[Psychotic]

Not at all, no! It wasn't released in Europe until 2002 and so I'd already beaten VII-X, and when it came to anthology I have to confess I played through V first.

That's Psychotic!

As did I *fist bump*

Technically, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance was my first FF game that I played and beat, but for the main series, this was actually my first, yes. At least the first that I knew was a Final Fantasy game while playing it. I had, before, dabbled with the NES ROM of Final Fantasy III, but had no idea that it was a Final Fantasy game or even what Final Fantasy was. IV was the first game in the main series I played and ironically enough, the version I played first was a rom of the Final Fantasy II US version.

I loved it. :D Had no idea the translation was bad or that the game was already more than ten years old, I thought it looked amazing. I was still new to the whole gaming and emulating scene back in the early 2000s. x)
