Which platform did you play this game on?

[Aulayna]

Were you hardcore and an original NES player? Did you emulate? Or did you play one of the remasters on the likes of the PSone and GBA etc?

When I first played it the NES version was the only option.
Later came roms, Origins, and Dawn of Souls and I've played all of them too.
I never played the PSP version of the game though.

I played it on the PS1.

NES, except my copy was old and buggy so it crashed about the time you got to Elfland and I would lose my saves.

I first completed the game on the PS1 Origins version, I dabbled with a friend's copy of the PSP version which was lacking, and I just recently finished the NES version on the Wii's Virtual Console which was easily one of my fave playthroughs. Despite the better hardware of the remakes, the original in all of its bugginess just feels more magical to me.

I have them all.

First was NES, then i played it on ds and have it on my phone as well

[TreasonWall]

I beat the NES version twice, the PS1 version twice (once with 100%), the GBA version twice (both times with 100%). Heh, it's a short game. I easliy recommend Origins. The original is extremely inconvenient, as demonstrated by the YouTube video of someone buying 99 potions one at a time. Dawn of Souls and subsequent iterations are made easier to such a point that they're unbalanced. By contrast, the Origins version, aside from fixing the worst shortcomings of the original, can be manually adjusted to play the way you want it to. I like to make it as hard as it can be, so as to make it feel more like proper FF1.

I own the NES and PS1 versions, though I've played the game the most on an emulator (NES version).

[Pike]

Game Boy Advance.

[theundeadhero]

People buy potions? I never waste my time on them. They're not necessary in any version of the game.

[Zechs]

I started with the NES. Then obtained the PSX and GBA Dawn of Souls versions later. Still have a soft spot in my heart for the NES version...

[NeoCracker]

NES Emulator was my first time playing it.

[Polnareff]

I played through NES, GBA, PSX, and PSP, in that order. I will never play through the NES version again.

A funny story about the GBA version, I played it on an emulator, and beat the game in 16 hours. I sat in front of the computer the whole time and finished it in one sitting. I almost puked afterward because I get motion sickness sometimes from patterns that occur in 2D games. That is still to this day the only RPG I've beaten in one sitting.

NES then PSone

First time was NES back when it was new. Since then I have played, and owned it on PSone, PSN, GBA, and PSP. I really do like this game.
