How did YOU get into Final Fantasy?

Back in I think 1990 0r 1991, (i would of been about 9 or 10) My parents bought me Final fantasy Legend 2 for the original gameboy, and i totally loved it, except for the fact i knew nothing about how important it is to level up and get better weapons etc. so i got to the boss Venus and got stuck. Stopped playing about 3 0r 4 years later i picked it up/found it again and started playing took me a while but i figured out how to beat the game, (let me tell you, worst most unfullfilling ending. EVER). Fash forward to 2001 i was in a buy and sell store and saw final fantasy 8 for like 20 bucks, so i bought it curious to see how my beloved game had evolved over the years. I was totally blown away. I fell in love with it, it was almost crazy, i played it day and night. I beat it 5 times and could do it many more. From then on i beat 6, 9 and 10 plus I have 7, 4 and 5 waiting to be started and I have 52% of final fantasy x-2 finished. I also realized that i HAD seen some progression because i HAD seen final fantasy 6 when it had first came out, i just didn't know it. I just love Final Fantasy games!!!!!! and that is MY story...

I got Final Fantasy for Christmas when I was 8 or 9 (23 now), the year the game came out.

As I got older, I got FF2 (4) and FF3 (6) for SNES and loved those as well.

Since then I have played and beat every final fantasy game that has been released, here or in Japan. (Translated roms rock)... and right now, I'm working on X-2 (almost finished) and FFTA.

OH MY :skull::skull::skull::skull:ING GOD! I can't believe I said that. Thats not even a sentence. What was I thinking when I wrote that garbage?

I first got into Final fantasy when I was 7. It was amazing even though I didn know what the heck I was doing.

It is very genetic because I am asian. LOL.

I discovered FF when I saw FF7 in a magazine. Years later, I got a Playstation and a FF7. This is how my story begins...haha.

Ok so I don't know how I got into FF but the first one I bought was FF8 and I fell in love with the game I have 9 10 and 10-2 and I'm going to buy 7 soon I aint getting 11 being that it's online and paying a fee just aint for me that and my computer would need some serious upgrading :( it still dose actauly

I got into FF when my friend gave me FF7 for my birthday. What a wonderful day that was. I wonder where I would be right now if it weren't for FF. I'd probably be a lot happier and have a perfect life.

Dammit! I should kill that bastard!

Dragonflame? Who was it that gave you that game? Hmmm? Who went all the way to Denmark to find it for you, because every copy anywhere else in the states was gone? I think that was ME!

I used to babysit this kid, when I was younger and he had a PlayStation. Every chance I got I tried to get my hands on the joypad and finally he gave it up - not without a fight though :lol: The one game that really got my attention was Final Fantasy VII and I have been in love with it ever since :love: So I guess a big thank you to my friend that introduced me to the world of Final Fantasy :kiss: You know who you are.

In the year 1999, I saw FF8 in the TV, somekind of a show, at first i didn't care nor knew what it was, I just told my bro, this is somekind of a good picture and designing.
later I found a magazen for games and read about ff8, so I went to the market and bought it, it is my fist ff and the most one I like.
that's how it all begin.

well my brothers were always big ff fans and they passed it on to me. I would always watch them play FFVII and i got into FF after that.

I was just roaming around the store looking for a new game to get into. Then I saw FF8 and FF9. I had a good feeling about these two games, sort of like a radar. Mind you I had never even heard of Final Fantasy till then and I wasn't much of an RPG player back then too. Regardless, I decided to pick up FF9 and come back for FF8 later. Then it all sort of happened.

I first started with FF2 (FF4 Japan) and I wanted to play the other FF's ever since.

My Grandma played #1 religiously, got me hooked, then it was all downhill when I bought FFII(AKA FFIV).

1998.
I was reading PSM with a friend of mine.We were looking at the top 100 and we were sure that Tomb Raider2 will score a #1(we were big TR fans).To our surprise a game called Final Fantasy VII scored #1(TR2 was second).We thought "No,how can this be???"
Later my friend bought FFVII but he didn't liked,so i asked him if i can borrow it and he gave it to me.
It was the first time i played an RPG so in the beggining i wasn't very thrilled about it...
But soon i was addicted.I was constantly speaking to my friends about Cloud,Sephi and the other characters.And finally i knew why FFVII was better than TR2
