What was your first Final Fantasy?
I imagine that here at a Final Fantasy fan forum, the first Final Fantasy any of us have played will probably always hold a special place in our hearts.
What was your first Final Fantasy, and what are some of your best memories from playing that game which won you over to the series?
my first ff was final fantasy 2 (na release so it was technically 4) after that i played the final fantasy legend games for the gb then it was ff7 because my dad thought it'd be cool for me to become a horrible student
Final Fantasy IV followed by VI and then Mystic Quest.
Final Fantasy VII was the first game in the series I played, the first RPG I ever played and the first Square game I ever played. There were a lot of firsts going on there.
My brother rented it from Blockbuster (remember Blockbuster?) and played it a bit and as I always did back then, I watched. While he was at work I would play it and what really stuck out to me was the whole beginning with planting the bomb. I just love that mission and the mission that came after it. I would have (and still would) buy an Avalanche spin-off game if it had the crew from the beginning in it. I used to play out that scene with my Pokemon action figures. I also really liked Jessie. The stuff in the train at the start was nice too.
(SPOILER)I was so sad when they died.
My first, which I've mentioned multiple times and made a long blog post about, was VIII. I got into it in very similar fashion to you, ToriJ. Rather than renting it, my brother got it for his birthday, and I watched him play it through to the end of the Dollet mission. I was hooked and just took over his save file because he didn't really care much about RPGs. It's one of my favorite bonding memories with my brother, though. We were both super pumped with the beginning of the game and I'm pretty sure we were shouting cheers in the scene when Quistis starts shooting the giant spider thing with the machine gun, haha.
My first was VIII. However, I really wanted VII... but I was so "young" I had no idea that VII was 7 in roman numerals and asked for "Final Fantasy VLLLL".
Roman Numerals: 1
Me: 0
First FF I played was VIII. Best memory of it was that I did not know how to abuse the Junction system, the game was a lot more fun that way.
Hooray for brothers who get bored of things quickly so it passes down to you. -raise glass-Originally Posted by Scotty_ffgamer
The first one I played properly was FFX. I fell in love, you could say.
My first exposure to FF was FF8, my uncle used to turn monsters into cards and play Triple Triad a lot.
>>> FF1 and Mystic Quest..

FFVIII
Mystic Quest. I remember really enjoying the fact that battles weren't random.
Final Fantasy VII
Not very original.
Yep, same. ...I can't even make my post original!
Oh goodness I don't know. FFVI I think? I didn't actually play much of it at the time, and got into it much more properly when I replayed it years later. So not a lot of nostalgia here from me.
My first SE game in general was Super Mario RPG and THAT gets the nostalgia flowing.
