    ive always been and RPGer. I played Pokemon when i was a kid and then i moved up to the gameboy Zelda games. After that I got into a Grand Theft Auto and NFSU phase. But I picked up FFX one day because my friends were telling me about it. then i got into a car wreck while driving home with it. Me, My sister, My FFX and my KoRn CD were all that survived of my wreck. I played it, got hooked, played FFX2, got less hooked but still there, played FFVII got MORE hooked. Now im playing FFXI, FFI, and KHCOM simoltaneously. Im going to start VIII when i beat COM, II when i beat I, and when i do my missions in XI, i'll do III, IV, V, VI, IX adnd XII.

    Well it started when my friend first moved into this house fourteen years ago in 1991. We were kids and we were browsing around the house when we found this cartridge for the SNES that said Final Fantasy II. (Final Fantasy IV EasyType) So anyhow, we played it not knowing what Final Fantasy or an RPG was. We started from the file that was on the game, it happened to be on the Moon right before the very end of the game, close to fighting Zemus. So we figured out the jist of it and beat the game. We then decided that we loved it, so we started over from the beginning, playing it day after day. That's when I became hooked.

    So after playing FFIV for three years and going back to play FFI for the NES, FFIII (FFVI) came out. So we naturally swooned over that game, we didn't buy it though, we rented it over and over again. So from that day on I've been a huge fan of Final Fantasy, now owning and enjoying every FF title for the PS and PS2, including FFXI for PC, and FFTA for GBA. I own all the guides for collection purposes and some merchandise. And I continue to enjoy them.

    I have yet to obtain FF:DoS and FFCC. All in due time.

    I'm a relative latecomer to the series, with X being my first Final Fantasy. And although some may not agree with me, I thought it was amazing. After I beat it, I just knew I had to play the older ones as well. I have beaten VI, VII, VIII, and IX since, and have enjoyed every minute of it. I plan to beat them all in the future, and nothing's going to stop me!

    I first played FFIV (at that time known as FFII) on the Super Nintendo when I was about five, and I was hooked from then on. I saved up my money and bought FFVI which was an amazing game that I thoroughly enjoyed.

    I hung around artist peoples on t3h internets. One of them drew fanart of these people 'tifa, quistis, selphie, cloud' and I had a vague realization that these were 'those ff people thingers for the playstation'.

    then a couple years later, I was all 'hey matt? what is final fantasy exactly?'

    'it's about people that save the world.'
    'The same people?'
    'Naw, it changes every time. Here, play teh snes roms and find out for yourself.'

    and true to form, I went and started with the middle one, 5

    <3 5

    (after that I rented X from hastings, fell in love with the ps2 machine, and got my own for christmas)

    It was FFMQ that did it for me. Rented it from the store a couple times, then I saw FFVI (III at the time) was coming out and I scraped together every last penny I could find. I still own the game, but it's missing several bits of the manual..... Which is exactly why you should never lend these things out to your friends!

    My First FF was FF5.

    At the time of 1999 I was happy playing Super Mario RPG (my first RPG), but my old brother tell me that FF series was better.
    I though "what in this world could be better than SMRPG?".

    A couple of years later some friend gave me a snes emulator with a lot of roms (included FF5). So I remember wath my brother told me two years ago, and I decided to play it.

    At this point I didn't know about the PS games (unbelieveable?).

    Before I could end FF5, I decided to play the series from the beginin, So I looked for nes and snes FF in the web and bought PS1 FFs, and finally finish them in sequence.

    PD: My english teacher says me that I speak like portorrican, It's that true? You don't have to answer
    Good being back......
