Is your first FF game your favorite?

[Auronhart]

I have this theory that most people end up liking their first Final Fantasy the most.(I mean, it must have been good enough to get them to play more and it has almost a nostalgic feeling to it when you replay) FF8 was my first FF (well to play a lot of, I actually played 7 first at my friends house) and I still think it is by far the best. (I love the junction system and the character development owned :) ) Go ahead and post your views on your first FF.

[Rostum]

Yes I played FFVII, and it really is my favourite.

[Necronopticous]

Hmm, I think this does apply to a lot of people. For me, however, it doesn't. The first Final Fantasy I ever played was Final Fantasy I on the NES. While I am fond of the game, I don't think it's the best in the series, nor to I enjoy it the most. Final Fantasy VIII is my favorite all around installment.

[Zante]

It doesn't aply for me. My first was VIII and although it is a great game, it can't match up with VI and VII.

[Rusty]

That doesn't really apply to me either..

The first Final Fantasy I played was FFVII, I do love the game, but FFVIII is my all time favourite.

[Chris]

Yeah...its a really hard question to answer.

My first FF was FFVII and sometimes its my favorite...and other
times FFVIII is my favorite...and so it keeps spinning...I can't decide
which Final Fantasy game is my favorite.

[Braindead_Paul]

FFVI was my first FF and it's still my favourite so I would agree with that theory. However, it seems that it is not true...

[CloudZidaneFusion]

FF9 is my first final fantasy, and i think its definatly true! FF9 is just simply the best ff ever.

[Takara]

Guilty as charged. :) Final Fantasy IV was my first, and it's still my favourite. Albeit I love Final Fantasy VI just as much (sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on my mood), but that may be because only 2 months passed between my first playthrough of IV and my first playthrough of VI.

[Auronhart]

However, it seems that it is not true...
I said most people so, so far it's working out :D . Also, if you consider the possibilities of FF's that people could have played first you are definitely going to get some people who chose a not as liked FF.

[Necronopticous]

Yeah, I would hope Mystic Quest wouldn't be anyone's favorite Final Fantasy.

[MoonsEcho]

Final Fantasy I was my first, right after it first came out. I love the game, and yes, it does give me a nostalgic feeling to replay it, but I don't think I'd call it my favorite. To be honest, I don't know if I can call ANY of them my favorite...it's so hard to pick!

[Ayamaoko]

My first Final Fantasy was 7, which I did like alot because it was my first rpg ever and introduced me to the genre.

However, I later played 8 and absolutely disliked it..

I was about to give up on the RPGs in general, but then I saw an adversement for 9.

I decided to give the final fantasies one more shot, and ended up buying it. Final Fantasy 9 is now my absolute favorite in the series and modivated me to get as many of the other final fantasies as I could.

So my favorite Final Fantasy was my 3rd~!

[Jolts]

My first Final Fantasy was actually the first, but I was too young to understand what it was, so I don't count that one. Aside from that, my first Final Fantasy game was Final Fantasy VII, which also got me hooked on RPGs (unless you count The Legend Of Zelda as RPG, but I count it as mostly action).
However, it is not my favorite. It was for a while, and then I played Final Fantasy Tactics, which is now my favorite game of all time, and like Ayamaoko, it is my third Final Fantasy game to play (not counting FF1). After beating FFVII, I went to Final Fantasy VIII, and in the middle of that, I rented Final Fantasy Tactics.
After playing it, I searched and searched at the stores for, but couldn't find it. Then, Squaresoft (now known as Square Enix) re-released it as a 'Greatest Hit' game, and I immediately bought it for the $15 they priced it at. :D :D :D :D :D :D

[CloudZidaneFusion]

Aren't greatest hits $20?

Oh ya, im canadian and american and canadian currancy dont have the same value, so they would be priced differntly

EDIT: Double post = bad. Thanks. :) -Murder

[Irvine]

My first Final Fantasy was FF9, but 8 is my favorite, followed closly by 6.

[Jolts]

Aren't greatest hits $20?
Actually, that's only the suggested retail price. The stores can sell the product for as much or little as they want. After the stores buy the game off of Squaresoft, Squaresoft couldn't care less how much the stores sell them for.
But yeah, you said you're in Canada, and I don't know the price differences for that, so that might be the reason as well.

[whoops, wrong place]

[Mo-Nercy]

Actually, Final Fantasy VII is more like...not my favourite. *gasp*

I'd easily give up a chance to replay VII to replay VIII, VI, IX, IV. In that order.

[escobert]

Yes VII is my favorite :D

[Outsider]

No, my favourite is FF6, but the first one was FF4, more than 10 years ago.

Damn, I'm old.

[Dragon Ash]

nice theory. so far, doesn't seem to be panning out but it did for me.

my first ff game was viii and you guessed it, it's my favourite. i love x as well but viii does hold a kind of nostalgia for me and i feel connected to it's characters.

[Project G]

FF VII

[Xander]

Mine was for a while (FFVII) until I played more FF's and realised that FFVII really wasn't THE BEST in my opinion. FFIX is my favourite which I played kinda second/third.

[Ryth]

The first one I played was FFIX and then I played FFVII and it became my favorite.

[Storm]

FFIV was my first, and despite the poor English translation it is my favorite of the series and always will be.

[Del Murder]

First: FFIV
Fav: FFVI

So nope.

[JseanjohnC]

ff8 wuz one of my favorites and so was FFX as a tie so i voted YES

[Not Dave]

Nope.

First - Final Fantasy
Favorite - Final Fantasy V

[SeeDRankLou]

No

First - Final Fantasy
Favorite - Final Fantasy VIII

[NM]

First : Final Fantasy VII
Favorite : Final Fantasy VII

So your theory works for me.

[nik0tine]

It's hard to say. Whenever I replay a final fantasy game I realize, "Oh my god, this is the greatest final fantasy of them all" And then when I replay a different game I realize "Oh my god, this is the greated final fantasy of them all"

[Garnet236]

I voted yes.....although I didn't realize it right away.....after I play other FF games....then my first ff games is my fav

[Mirage]

My first was Final Fantasy 5. Nostalgic? Oh yes, it definitely is. The best? Naw.

[Eldalosse]

It doesn't quite pan out for me, since Final Fantasy IV was my first, and Final Fantasy VI is my favorite. Still, they are very, very close in my estimate. Final Fantasy VI only edges out IV as my favorite because it has my favorite character, Terra, and the absolutely saddest scene I have ever seen.

I always start bawling at the ghost train scene where Cyan gets off the train, and sees his wife and kid get on it...it's just so sad. Poor Cyan...

[Faith]

My First was FFVI. It has and always will be my favorite. Period.

[rubah]

My first FF was ff5. . . I made my friend tell me just what 'final fantasy' was about, and he sent me a pack of roms to see for myself.

It isn't my favorite, but it has a special place in my heart-- I'd definitely consider it one of the best though:) My favorite though is probably eight. I love that thing to death.

[KingOfDragons]

I voted no, I first played FFX and my all time fav is FFVI, but I prefer D2 games over D3 games like FFVII upwards

[Lain]

first: FF7
favourite: FF7
So yes, my first FF game is my favourite

[Armisael]

My first FF was FFVI..i like it a lot but it's not my fav..

[finalheaven]

my first was 7..and it is still my favourite..but to be honest..say if i played 9 first..i might have not conttinued yo play the others... ^_^

[SomethingBig]

Nope, but it's my second favorite. My first FF ever was FFVII, but my favorite is VI.

[Sephirothvsvader22]

My first was Final Fantasy IX. That got me hooked so then I played Final Fantasy X. Then I played Final Fantasy VIII. Finally, after playing THREE, my favorite was Final Fantasy VII, my fourth.

(I will give you that Final Fantasy IX was my favorite until I was halfway through Final Fantasy VIII).

[mtyclb]

First: II (or IV)
Favorate: VII

[Sepho]

I don't know why I didn't vote earlier.

Nope, VII was my first FF, and it's only my third favorite (behind VI, then VIII).

[Alexander]

My first Final Fantasy was 7, which I did like alot because it was my first rpg ever and introduced me to the genre.

However, I later played 8 and absolutely disliked it..

I was about to give up on the RPGs in general, but then I saw an adversement for 9.

So my favorite Final Fantasy was my 3rd~!

She took the words out of my mouth.

[theundeadhero]

My first was FF1 and it's hard to say if it's my favorite or not. It's pretty high up there. I've definately beaten it more than any other FF.

[Ichimonji]

Nope. My first Final Fantasy was FFIV, and I don't have a favourite now.

[feioncastor]

Final Fantasy VI is my favorite, and Final Fantasy IV is the first one I played.

FF4 is my third fave, after 6 and then 7.

Feion

[JayDee]

This is complicated for me
FF7 was my first and fav so far
I did play FF6 once but didn't get chance to finish it
i loved it but cant tell if its my fav till i finish it
and also im in the process of playing 4
and after that ill play 5
so i cant tell yet but i still voted YES.

[Doors]

No, FF7 is my least favourite FF.

[UltimateSpamGrover]

I started off with FFVII, then I got VI soon after... I thought VI was my favorite until IX came out. IX was my favorite until 2003, when FFXI came out.

FINAL FANTASY XI is the best game ever made!
