Being quite young still, my first game that I played personally was FFX. However, before that, I watched my brother play FFVII and FFVIII, so I guess my first experience and knowledge with the series began with FFVII. Still, FFX was the first one that I played, and since then, I've revisited FFVII and FFVIII.
Never played VI and below though. I'd very much like to play VI and IV one day.
FFI. I would constantly restart the game with my friend though because we were 5. The farthest we got was Melmond.
FFVII when I was 11 or so, from a friend's recommendation. I played FFT shortly thereafter, though I didn't like it at first.
ff7 got it for christmas for ps1 instead of dark forces which i really wanted for some reason
phew
>>> FF1..

Final Fantasy IX
FFIV from phar-mor! It was either that or some NBA game. Wonder how the rest of my childhood would have turned out if my mom didn't rent that...It helped elevate my reading level and comprehension to a sixth grade level after I told my teacher that video games are encouraging me to read! The save files on the cartridge were all at the damn sealed cave though and it was stupidly aggravating until I discovered the New Game button. Then it got AWESOME.
VII when it first came out, I think I was around 10-11 years old.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
for me it was FF VII... i knew of Final Fantasy I, IV, & VI (1, 2, & 3 in the U.S.) and was not impressed with them on a quite superficial level, i hated how the party and enemies stood on opposite sides of the screen and waved their weapons at each other, never fighting, just waving their weapons... High Fantasy was also a huge turnoff for me, in RPGs i was more drawn to the Phantasy Star series, at least there were no silly orcs, trolls or other midevil nonsense and the characters actualy got in there and faught their enemies if they had mele weapons...
then one summer everything changed my opinion about SquareSoft... Chrono Trigger... i played CT and instantly thaught this cant be the FF guys, theyre hacks, so i decided to finaly give FF another try after beating CT in every possible way and seeing every ending there was in every variation, but never got around to it...
later the PSX comes out and i get rid of my Sega Genesis to get one, and they eventualy release FF VII, my little brother buys a copy, and i play on it loving every minute of it... because of that and CT of course i went back and played the older titles, FF VI still ranks as one of the best FFs ever made and its because of CT and FF VII that i gave it a try...
The first FF title I played was actually Final Fantasy Legend 3 on the GameBoy when I was 11 or 12. I liked it, so I looked for the previous two Legend games online... I ended up finding much, much more. Thanks to the magic of emulators, I ended up playing all the main titles up to IX in order.
Actually, I think I played Final Fantasy Adventure before I got to the main games, since I had the actual FFL3 and FFA cartridges and could take them with me, instead of sitting in front of the computer to play the older games. And over time I ended up with the actual consoles that I could use to play the main games on, and got the actual games, and replayed them all, occasionally playing a newer title in between (X through XIII) until I beat all of them.
God, I hated XIII.

FFVI. My first venture into FF was back in 2011 when I discovered emulators, and looking back to my Pokemon days, wanted some rpgs. I looked on a list of the best GBA rpgs and FFVI was at the top, so I gave it a shot. I got stuck at Kefka's tower because I put all my good characters into one party and just said smurf it with the rest so of course I didn't make it. I've played 1-7 except 4, which I intend to do this sumer when I can dedicate more time. So far, I've finished 1, 6, and 7. I plan to get 4 and torrent 8 for pc this summer and finish them all.
Forward, the Light Brigade!'
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho'(though) the soldiers knew
Some one had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.
Final Fantasy IV when it was on the SNES. I was a wee lad at the time.
I have probably beaten it at least fifty times now. It never gets old, but I wish there was a way to erase it from my memory so I could play it for the first time again~
My first FF was IV (II at the time) just like a lot of the people here. I could never beat the first boss, but I could find all sorts of secret treasures :3 I didn't finally play it to win until last year xD
