How did you get into FF?

[Big D]

My brother was an ff fan and I literally learned how to read from FF7(back when I was 4 or so).

According to your profile, you would've been 9 when FFVII came out. You either learned to read later than average, or you were referring to a much earlier game...

I didn't buy any FF CDs, cuz my brother buy them.
it was maybe when I was 15 or so, he bought FF8,9,10,12
the 1st FF game I might buy would be FF XIII + Versus on PS3

My family used to have a lot of money to spend on extra luxuries, so Final Fantasy was one of the many titles included in the library of games that I used to play as a child.

My first Final Fantasy title was a playthrough of Final Fantasy IV, so I had enough time and energy to go back and play Final Fantasy to get a deeper understanding of the series up to that point — I wasn't very good at the original, though, and I haven't played it since I was a child —

Actually when I first came to the US a few years ago from korea I started getting into video games more than I did in korea since i didnt know many people xD lol and my brother was kinda rushing me in a store to pick out a game and he just randomly picked out FF8 for me and I havnt been too open minded about any other games ever since hehe^^

I was alot younger when I first started playing it actually lol so I dont really remeber ever beating it when I first got it, or coming close to understanding that story line. ^^

I was in 6th Grade in 1998. I just became close friends with someone. I had Chrono Trigger at the time. He wanted to borrow it, so I told him to lend me one of his SNES games. He handed FF IV(known as FF II at the time)to me. At first I was bored with it, then his best file got deleted somehow. I told him I was keep his game for a little while longer until I get the file the way he had it before. As I kept playing the game, I was getting into it. The more I played it, the more fun I had with it. After I finished the game, I returned it to him with a file that was a little better than his. Few weeks later, went to Kmart and I saw a used copy of FF VI(known as FF III at the time)It was cheap too. I thought to myself "Hey look. another FF game. Maybe it will be as good as the other one." So I bought it. I went home to play it and I was very pleased it. From that point on, I started to keep track of every FF game that was released and bought it. In other words, FF IV and VI got me into FFs and those two games will always be my top 2 favorites because of it.

When my friend and I were younger, maybe around 11 or 12 I went over to her house and her older brother was playing FFVIII and we chased him out of the room so we could play and we played up to the dance scene haha. Over the next few years we would play up to that part just to watch it. Then I kind of completely forgot about FF for a long time and I got FFV for the GBA when it came out because I really wanted to get into it and I've been playing ever since. I JUST completed my entire collection (of just the numbered games minus XI) yesterday. Now my interest in video games is more than just an interest in love scenes, don't worry!

It's a long and complicated tale, but the majority of it lies with the fact that we got Final Fantasy for NES the day it came out...I think it just appealed to my mom so she bought it.

[Thoughtless]

My brother showed me the demo for FFVIII when I was around 11, I thought it was great. He bought it later and we both played it, we had a race to the end, I finished it first . After that I begs my parents to buy me a copy of final fantasy ix when I happened to see it in a store, would've been around a year later.

I'm so glad I played that demo.
