    Nope. I’m pretty sure I’ve got close, though.

    It's pretty tiring towards the end. That's were I always lose interest, usually on my following play through.

    FF8 popped my cherry, then in order
    FF9
    FF10
    FF10-2
    FF1
    FF2
    FF7

    yes 7 was my last play, and I always argued that it wasn't the best and that sephiroth wasn't the best villain until I actually played the game, since then it is my favorite.

    FFVI. I started playing when I was 9 or 10, somewhere around there. My brother loved the FF series so he passed games down to me when I became interested enough. I used to sit and watch him play FFIV and when FFVII came out I watched him play that game all the way through. When I was younger I was a bit scared to play myself, which is why I started so late. He made me play Zelda, Secret of Mana, and Lufia once but I was scared by the boss battles and so I just ended up watching. FFVI seemed safe enough and I played it probably 6 times since then. I've probably hit every glitch, even the annoying ones on accident. I also found Shadow's dreams on accident. I was obsessed with that game, still am.

    Haha, Reles, you was like me. I used to always be scared of playing games that my Bro used to show me. For example, Grand Theft Auto was one, and then I finally plucked the courage and played it. It's really comforting watching though, then you can criticize anything they do wrong.
    I was very independent with all my FF's except VIII.

    my first was IX (loved it forever since then) in 2002/3 (can't remember now!)
    then it was VII, VIII, X and the X-2 and they've all been great in their own way - ahh!

    I watched my sister play the first FF, but the first game I actually played with the mental capabilities of gaming (not button mashing) was........... DUN DUN DUN, FFVI when it was FFIII, in 1994. Then the summer after I got FFIII I found out my best friend had FFII. <3

    But really if that's a surprise to anyone then they're just silly.

    My first FF experience was with FF IX. My sister bought it from my friend and started to play it. Back then i was too young to play it myself and i wasn't even interested about it enough that would have started playing it.
    I can't remember how old i was then. But it was probably the year 2000 or 2001.. err.. or 2002? Well, i was about 11-years-old or something like that.
    Back then my English wasn't good so most of the game still remained hidden for me. But the experience still blew me away. I maybe didn't read all the text there was written but the game, the plot, the characters, the whole story... it captured me and the magic of IX hasn't yet faded away. I guess it would have been better if had played the VII first but cuz i was so young then it would have been too hard for me. You know, IX is quite easy comparing to the other FF's.
    Now I have played the IX like four times (I know that's not actually much but for me even playing a game through one time is a real task.)
    I like to play it to the start of the fourth disc cuz then you would have to start raising the lvl's and the actual story is pretty much over (at least cuz you know how it will go).

    The next FF i played was X. Again, I had watched my sister playing it through first but it didn't catch me as badly as IX did. Maybe cuz it was more deeper story and much longer too.
    And cuz i hadn't watch every minute of the game the story wasn't whole for me.
    So there i was, living in a thought that X wasn't good enough to be played. One sunny day i decided to start to play it.
    And i realized that it was amazing. That's enough about that.

    First FF was 7. My friend told me 'wanna borrow this game, it's so crap, I bet you won't like it.' I liked it, but I got stuck on that lunar harp part when you have to dig it up. I gave it back.

    I got FF8 for my 9th birthday, and it took me 2 years to complete. That's right. Well to be fair, it's because I got stuck on finding the seed ship, so I didn't play the game for like a year and a half. I put it down.

    Then I finally picked it up cos I was bored, and ended up completing it, and becoming crazy about Final Fantasy. My other friend let me borrow FF7, and I completed it...

    I have completed FF8 four times.
    I have completed FF7 two times.

    I'm sure this topic has been done a thousand times now but hey ^.^

    FFVII, with my Cousin, who owned it. We played through it together. In other words, he did all the important story-driven bits and when I borrowed it all I could without dying was training But hey, that was 10 years ago XD
    I also remember he thought it was over when we blew up the first reactor Much lol'ing. And he thought it wasn't that good til I forced us to both play it cos it looked SO. COOL.
