Well, my question is, how (and when) did YOU start playing Final Fantasy. I'll tell my story first:

In ye olde days (actually, just a couple of years ago) there was this big talk of some weird movie where everything was made in a computer and looked damned real. It also had the name "Final Fantasy".

Sure, I had heard of the game(s) but never had any idea where to play them. Then I ran into the wonderfull thing called "emulator", and since everyone was talkin' about the movie, I tought "well, if I'M going to see the movie, I want to know what the game(s) is about first."

So, I started playin' FF1, and I tought, "hey, this is neat!"

By now, I've almost finished FF6 (on emulator, of course) and I'm planning on buying FF7 for my (brothers) PS2.

So, once again, how did YOU get hooked on this series?
