Technically, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance was my first FF game that I played and beat, but for the main series, this was actually my first, yes. At least the first that I knew was a Final Fantasy game while playing it. I had, before, dabbled with the NES ROM of Final Fantasy III, but had no idea that it was a Final Fantasy game or even what Final Fantasy was. IV was the first game in the main series I played and ironically enough, the version I played first was a rom of the Final Fantasy II US version.

I loved it. Had no idea the translation was bad or that the game was already more than ten years old, I thought it looked amazing. I was still new to the whole gaming and emulating scene back in the early 2000s. x)
