i was 6 when i started playing ff my first ff i played was ff7 and by the way i was only in first grade so i had a hard time beacause i could not read but somehow that game helped me make a excellent reader
Five or six, started with FFII (What we now know is FFIV). I didn't have any trouble with the reading, my cousin actually relied on me reading it since he couldn't read it as well and was too impatient to do so anyways. That was my first introduction into speed-reading since he never let me actually play the game except on a few rare occassions. I had to buy FFIII (What we now know is FFVI) myself to actually get to play it.
When I was 11-12 years old, 9-10 years ago. It was FF1. A friend of mine was staying the night and brought the game over. Next tine I went to his house I borrowed it.
I was....hmm....well the first one I played was FFI and it was soon after it was released which was....*goes to check*...1990? Is that right? It seemed longer ago than that...oh well. Anyway, that would have made me 7. So yeah. 7. <_<
I'm older than you :tongue:
( You kow what, it's kinda funny. I was going to make a thread tonight asking how long you've been playing FF and how your life would have been different without it but decided against it)
Don't scare, but I was..........17. And now I am 20. And I meanwhile have all FF-games for the PS. And I loved it ever since. I played FF since my 17, but I first saw it at a friend when I was 15 I believe. Boy, that seems so long ago, but it is only five years.
13, if I'd started earlier I woulnd't understand much of it!
I played FFIX only last year, so I would have been 14, I'm a newbie to FF games
I was 14 it was FF8 for PC. Ever since then I have been a FF Fan n_n :D
I was 12 when I first played FFIV (the FFII SNES version) in 1994. Or rather, I was 12 when I went to my friend Korine's house and her mother's boyfried bought the game and she was playing. Then, after a lot of complaining and threatening to go back home, she let me try. I was hooked instantly. :p
I was 13 the first time around.
Anything younger would have messed my mind up :D
I was either 9 or 10 when I first started playing Final Fantasy VII :)
I got FFVIII as a birthday present when I was maybie 12, but I couldn't run it on my old PC, so I started playing one year after.
14, with FFX. I was with some friends of my parent's, and they asked if i wanted something from MVC. I chose FFX, and now I'm here...
13 I think. Go FFVIII.
When I was 10, FFI came out and I've been playing them ever since.
Not by much :tongue:Quote:

Back in 1991, i got Final Fantasy legend 2 for gameboy (the original one, obviously), I loved the game with all my heart, but then I lost the game and kind forgot about it, and then i think it was in 2000 or 2001 i bought FF8, just to see how the game had progressed thru the years, and BAM!! I was hooked. And now i have beaten 6,8,9,10 and X-2. And then when i am not so busy with school, i will catch up on the rest.
5 years ago I played my cousins Final Fantasy 1.
I started when I was 10 years old
Edit: now that I tihnk about it it oculd have been longer back. I can still remember vividly getting my arse handed to me because I didn't know what "leveling up" was. (Fighter, Fighter, Fighter, Fighter) was the class I used. *Memmories.....hmm hmm hmm hmmm hmmm*
11-12 when Final Fantasy first came out.
I think I was about 11 or 12, about 4 years ago, with FFVII, loved it :love: and have played all the others since, well except 3, 4 'n' 5
Whenever FFII (FFIV) came out for SNES. I guess I was around 10.
Final Fantasy VI came out in 1994, right? In that case, I would've been 10 years old.
In late 1998 , played my friend's copy of ff7 right up till the second disc. Iwas only 11then , but my understanding of it all was considerable - loved it , so continued to play the sequels over the next five years, particularly 8and 9 , returning to complete ff7 just last summer there !
Five years old. Started with FFL (which I do consider to be Final Fantasy, but I'll discuss that elsewhere).
played that until I got FFVIII, a couple years ago. am now a fanatic.
Roughly 10, I think.
edit: that is to say, 1993. Mystic Quest.
i don't quite remember the age i was...but I had the original Final Fantasy for the NES...so that's when I started playing it
I started when i was 12, my younger freind was showing me Ff IX and i asked to borrow it. I became an addict after the first day of playing :) :D I've been playing for about 2-3 years now.
I was seven or eight years old when my cousin Zack showed me FFIX and I loved it, it got me into games before I would buy crap like Glover, I bet if I got a Nintendo 64 instead I bet the game that got me hooked would be Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time and I would be on EOLOZ (Eyes On Legend of Zelda) or something while I like LOZ, FF is better it would probably be vice versa if I had a N64.
I think I was 14 and I played FF I on the Nintendo when it first came out, I think it was shortly after I beat dragon Warrior I or II I can't remember it was eons ago.
3 or 4 years ago, I was first introduced to FFVII (PC) through my friend, but I didn't even have a chance to play. :(
That's why I just finished it (PS) 2 years ago. Too late. :eep:
BTW, FFVII's my first RPG. And, I really [img]http://home.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/heart.gif[/img] FF.
I started Final Fantasy when I was 17 years old so it was three years ago when I started my first game called Final Fantasy 8.
Why? Cause I have a crush on FF8 LOL!!! :D
WHHOOOOO, do you guys, and girls, make me feel old. I must be the only person here who started playing FF in their twenties!!! (23 to be precise) In 1998 I started playing FF Tactics, and haven't slept much since. I took a break from time to time to play FF's 7,8, and 9... ;)
I have been playing Final Fantasy for 14 years, I feel old. I will continue to play even when I have Grand Kids and great grandkids, If I live that long.
lol..that works...ive played since 7th grade...(in 9th now)...so actually im kinda "new" to ff...but playing even when u have grandkids is a great idea tho :)Quote:

i only got one of the many final fantasy's last year during *angst* Decmber.
Gracious, I remember playing Final Fantasy when it first debuted in America, back when I was 3. So roughly a good 14 years ago back in 1990. Though I remember that my dad purchasing the original release 16 days after I was born on 12/18/87. I still play both the Japanese release and the original American release to this day. Good times... gooood times.
I will pass my FF knoldege down to my daughter when she is old enough to understand. She tryes to play now and she is 16 months old, I think that qualifies her as the youngest to start playing FF
when i was 12..FFVI for the first time..
Wow...Quote:

It's kinda weird to think that there were people who were only 6 when FF7 came out. I mean, the first one I played was FF2 (SNES) right after it came out. I rented it. But then shortly after, I bought FF1 for the NES, and then bought 2, 3, and I was confused as heck when they made 7 instead of 4. I looked into it, straightened things out, and since then....
Well, I'm getting off topic. My bad.
Feion
When I was 12, I got my first taste of Final Fantasy freshness on the NES. A homie of mine's mother called us, "Brain rots," because we spent so much time on that.
When I was 15, a friend and I went to our local rental store to rent a game and a DVD. We looked around and couldn't find any games that we wanted (I wasn't familiar with the RPG genre at the time). Then, in the corner of my eye stood an interesting little game called Final Fantasy X...This is how my RPG obsession started. It was only two years ago, but I have since beat six FF's and a whole bunch of other RPG's.
I was 12 when I played my first FF game...(FF9)....then...when I was 13 when I played my second FF game....(FF10)....I was 14 when I played ....(FF10-2)....which was my third FF game so far...And I was 15 when I played....(FF8)....which was just a few months ago...So u see....I'm still 15....when I'm 16....I dont know which game I'll play...maybe...(FF7)...and...(FF6).....just maybe....But who knows...
I was 12. It was Final Fantasy 5.
I was 9 at my friends house, we were playing 2-player FF IX. He said I could borrow it cause he was playing FF VII
I was like five when we got FFII(US), so I had been playing FFI since I was what, like three? Geez.
It was FFMQ and I believe I was 10 at the time.
My first FF game was FFVII! I was about 10 or 11 years old, I think... Still is the bst game ever...
Um....*thinks*...10 or 11 I think, with good ol' FF7. Didn't have a clue what was going on, except that there was a guy who looked drunk with a tail, Mr T in a sailor suit, and a big pink thing in the basement. Good times.
I was 9 when I started playing ff, my dad's friend's son brought FF7 to my house the day of my mom's funeral.
My first was FFII SNES, and it was when I was 7, back in 1992, when you could still rent SNES games. Why did that have to change?
After returning it, my brother bought me FF1 for my birthday, along with the original Strategy guide for it, which I still have.
Feion
My first would have to have been FF7, the first year it came out. I would have been around 10 years old.
My first Final Fantasy was Final Fantasy IV thirteen years ago, back in 1991. I must've been seven years of age then. Wow, time flies.
I still have it too :)Quote:
the original Strategy guide for it, which I still have.
I think i was nine when i started playing them but i watched my brother play before that that.
You can read?
I started playing FF when ff7 came out, I was then about 7-9 years old
I started playing at the age of 11, with FFX, that was back in 2002, since then I played (and beated) 1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,CC and TA.
I was 11!! That was in 2001 about when FFX came out. FFIX was my first.

Yeah... it is rather hard to come across these days and/or for a decent price
I thought it would be easier and cheaper to come by now, than a few years ago. Because it's a greatest hit. I know here, they still have quite a few copies in stores for nineteen or whatever bucks.
yeah ..i was......14..or was it 15..yeha a friend intorduced it to me ^_^
I was 15 when I first played Final Fantasy.....
began with FF VIII which launched at 1998-1999 and became very popular so I attracted to but it.
Then I continued to play FF V, then FF VII, FF VI, FF IV, and finally FF IX :D I buy also the FF origins, but the graphics are poor and the gameplays are boring, so I stopped.
It was in 2003 when I was 13 years that I play for the first time FF.
Now I have beaten FF5,6,7,8,9,10,10-2,CC
I was introduced to it at.... 1998 o.o With FF7, I think.
And since then I've beaten
FF1, 5, 7, 8, 9, Tactics and Tactics Advance.
Played 2, 4 and 6 but didn't beta these yet
Never played 10 and 10-2
i think 12
I was actually twentythree, I think. My fiance introduced me to Final Fantasy 4 and 6. At the time of this writing, I have played those two, a small part of 10, and am working on 1. I know I started late, but that's due to never having any consoles growing up, or any friends who owned any, or I would surely have started much sooner.
i played my first ff game when i was 6 . now im a die hard final fantasy fan! but that was 5 years ago :D
9 or 10 years ago, i was 7 or 8. my friend had ffii for his SNES. was always over there playing
it'd have to be when I was 11, and my long-lost mom (I hadn't seen her for a while-but this isn't eyes on eachother) let me borrow FF8... I got totally hooked, and since then i've played/beaten FF1,4,5,6,7,8,9,and 10 (but I hated and now refuse to play X-2)
EDIT:but heres the weird thing. Almost every Final fantasy game i've played has never been mine. I've always borrowed them...
When I was 14 with FFVI in 94. Yep, I'm one of those (many) people that got hooked on Final Fantasy because of FFVI
Let's see, I was born in 86, my mom got FF when it first came out, 1990 i believe. I didn't actually play myself, but my brothers and my mom played all together, Like i'd press the buttons for a fight, my brothers would look at the enemy chart and decide to run away or not, and my mom would sort of watch us and tell us where to go and stuff. It was a team effort, but I loved the game and played it many times. Then we missed getting FFII(IV) and couldn't find it anywhere, so we waited and my bro and I bought FFIII(VI). My oldest brother still insists that that is final fantasy III not VI because it was released as III in the US, and all I can do now is laugh. But yeah, i've been playing them as early as I could, even though I didn't get most of it!
THE JACKEL
all i can remember was that i was hooked on FF7 when i just started out in high school :) . and, i'm glad i found Final Fantasy! :D
I was 16, I bought FFX because my friend told me about it, that night when i was driving home to play it, i got in a car wreck and i totaled the car and everything was destroyed, Me and FFX are the only things that made it out without a scratch.
Hmm... I first played FF1... at least a year before FF6 came out (as FF3) in the USA. Going by a few other posts, FF6 came out around '94, so it was around '93 when I played/beat FF1, and that would make me... 7 or maybe 8 years old at the time. Wow... heh.
And beat it on the NES, on my.. I think second try. Mainly because on my first try I just randomly picked characters, not realizing that White Mage + front slot = dead white mage... I didn't read the manual or anything until after being killed by.. I think a Madpony, about 3 minutes in. Heh...
And up until a few years ago, I still had that big sheet with every monster's stats on it... slightly crumpled and taped together in places, but it was still there. But now I can't find it... :(
Let's see...
I was 10 years old when I first got and played FF1 on the NES. Got it for christmas along with my own NES! Was one happy kid and loved the game ever since, with the exception of FF8.
Here's a date lis of when I first played a particular FF game...
FF1 - 1990
FF2 - 1999
FF3 - 1999
FF4 - 1993
FF5 - 1999
FF6 - 1994
FF7 - 1997
FF8 - 2000
FF9 - 2002
FF10 - 2003
FF10-2 - 2004
FFMQ - 1993
FFT - 1998
First one I played was 7, I think I was 15 or 16 at the time. Later, much later, I played 5 for a bit.
The first one I actually beat was 4. Currently trying to find a copy of 8 for the PC to buy that isn't horribly expensive, and I might start 6 this weekend.
i was 8 and i played ff7
I was 5 years old and I played FFVI (FFIII) On my SNES.I would have my sister help me half the time though.
It was 1997, I was six years old. For absaloutely no reason at all I asked my parents to pick me up a copy of FFVII on a trip to England (without me!!!) They brought it back and after the half an hour I spent learning how to run and realizing there was no jump button I loved it! My first RPG(the first of many) had me totally hooked.
Well I'm a late-comer to FF, first FF I played was X, and that was 2 years ago. It was in a 2 for 20 pounds sale at GAME and I'd allready picked up Deus Ex and was looking for something to go with it. It was the platinum collection edition and I thought 'well I've never played one before but what the hell'. I've never looked back since :D

FF 12 Plan On Beating That In A Week! :p :D
I was 14 when FF7 came out - that was my first FF.
I was probably five watching my older brothers play FFI, then I tried to play myself at six probably, but I couldn't actually beat ToF (2000YitP).
I wanted to vouch for my brother, AbroJTM, here... He is my younger brother, and I would like to say that he doesn't give himself enough credit here.
When AbroJTM was 3 (before he could read), my older brother (the oldest of the three of us) received Final Fantasy II (FFIV Easytype) for Christmas. AbroJTM was 3, I was 11, and my older brother was 13 at the time. My older brother and I had been playing quite a bit, and to exposed AbroJTM to the game by putting audiotapes of recorded FFIV music in his room while he slept in his crib/bed (don't remember if he was still in a crib or not). Apparently, the engraining of Final Fantasy into his toddler mind is still influencing him today. From the time we started playing in Christmas until about 6 months later, AbroJTM would say "Final Fancy!" when he wanted to watch us play it, which was all the time... and, of course, my older brother and I had no problem with this. AbroJTM would turn the game on sometimes when he just wanted to listen to the theme and stare at the screen/intro for literally hours at a time. He was hooked before he understood the difference between a boy and a girl.
In any event, my older brother and I came downstairs to our playroom one day to find our barely 3-year-old brother actually *playing* FFIV. He had watched us play so much that he had learned how to load the game up, and he started a new game (remember that he couldn't read, and obviously didn't know the controller THAT well, even though my older brother and I had shown him how hitting the buttons makes stuff on the screen move).
We were initially worried that he had erased a save game or something like that, and were about to get mad, when we actually looked at the screen and saw where he was and what he was doing in the game. He actually progressed from the beginning of the game ALL THE WAY to the END OF THE MIST CAVE before we found him there, playing. Both my older brother and I were astounded to see that AbroJTM could actually get that far just from having watched us play so much. He knew how to find his way around Baron, and even fight his way to the end of the Mist cave. I don't remember if we let him play to see him get to the end of it, or if we took the controller at that point, but wow, it honestly took my breath away to see what he had accomplished.
This is one of my top 5 most vivid memories of my little brother as a toddler/infant, along with when he got his fish who died the night he got it when he was 3(which he named "Stop", because it "stopped"), recalling him with his fire truck he got for Christmas at 2, which he called "Fire Fruck", his digging into his first birthday cake after he initially had no interest in it (our mom put his finger in the icing and then in his mouth, at which point he smiled, and he then dug into it completely, making a mess), and his "poopie face" that he made when taking care of business (also goes along with "karate chop" and "point to your nose", which are other stories in and of themselves).
Ahh, nostalgia. But no, AbroJTM, you didn't start when you were 5, though that is when you began to play the original FF, and you did indeed get to ToF2kYitP. Give yourself more credit, you were well on your way through FFII/IV easytype when you were THREE.
As far as me, I began when I was 4 or 5, can't remember which, playing the original Final Fantasy, as it had just come out and my older brother got it for Christmas. It's been almost 20 years since then. As if that's important, considering the story I just told...

Ive been playing final fantasy since i was 11 i am now 16 :cool: and im gonna keep playing untill my hands drop off :p
i played ff7 for the first time when i was 6 but i didnt understand what was going on half the time though ive being playing ff games for 8 years now and i bloody love them
i had a late start on the FF series since i was like 8 or 9 :mad: when FFVII just come out :p .
my first final fantasy was final fantasy tactics, that was eight years ago, time sure flies fast, iwas 6 or 7
I was 5 when I played FFIV. Boy those were good days. :)
started with FFIII when i was about 8 or 9...then got back into it when VII came out
I saw my friend playing FFX so I'm pretty new at this but I've already beaten 2 games.
FFX, and FFTA
Last year. When I was 11 years old (Ya, dude. I'm 12 old. AND U R A D1ck H35D HAHAHAHAHAHA [Or.. NOT.].).
I always was thinking that FF is just a stupid 3D game with a lot of remakes and continues, something dumb as MU (Which isn't that bad.. I think.) for the Sony Plastation 1 or 2. Which I haven't any of them. And that sucks. When I saw some pictures, it looked cool. even L33T (Or... NOT.). So I've played it. And enjoyd.
And here I am.
I guess I was 10 or 11 when I started, whenever FF1 was released in the US.
25. Really.
I decided do write a graduation thesis on Yo[img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]aka Amano and so I decided to download all the ROMS I could get my hands on with the excuse of seeing the way his drawings had been transposed into videogame graphics.
Today I beat my first FF ever: Final Fantasy VI.
Of course, I found myself Final Fantasy dependent, just like everybody else in here. :love:
LOL, it got censored. Y o s h i t a k a Amano, the artist who has been the visual concept designer for all the games in the series now.
EDIT: Please use the edit button instead of double posting. -Murder
i was about 9 i think when i first played an FF game which i believe was FF9. it was my cousin who bought me a ps1 along with FF9 for xmas and he was the one who truly got me into video-gaming and the FF series
That's awesome. Never too late to discover the fun!Quote:
