How did you discover final fantasy?

[Winter Nights]

Wait, what's Final Fantasy?

It's nothing, go back to sleep.

My cousin had 9, so i bought it (yes, it was my first) then i got 7, Tactics, 10, Chronicles, Origins, X-2 (i sold it), and i downloaded 1-5 onto my PSP

The first final fantasy that i played was final fantasy 8. Then FF9. Then FF10. Then FF1,2,4,5,6. Then X-2. Then FF7. Then Crystal Chronicles.
Now im waiting for another one. And also Tactics and Tactics Advance.
What lured me into playing ff8 which is my first one is because the graphics were amazing!

Well one day i was walking down the sidewalk and then a hobo came up to me and gave me FF1.

No really my dads friend lent FF7 to my dad but he didnt like it and i tryed it and i did like it and my dads friend never came back to get the game back so i still have it.

Years ago (maybe 1991?) when my sister and I were SNES freaks, my mom (i think) bought us FFIV. I don't remember getting it, I just remember having it. Yeah well, we were young and didn't understand it. Me and my best friend at the time would just put it in, get to the Chocobo forest and cheer "Ducky!!!" and then we'd turn it off. C'mon we were like 5.

When I was about 10, I bought an NES at a used game store because my aunt had one and I had played hers a couple of times. I bought FF1 after recognizing the title, and my sister and I played it for a while... still didn't understand it. Never bought any items or weapons, just made a party and got into battles and died. Didn't even get to the first boss. We thought that was the entire game. xD

Last year, I dated a guy who was into RPGs, particularly FF1, and it reminded me of my past. So, having owned FF1 and FFIV, I downloaded the roms and whoa - I fell in love. Played VI after that... fell deeper in love. Just bought FFIX and FFVII and I'm smitten.

this was quite funny

i met a friend on holidays and we used to write to each other. When it came to christmas time in 98' i bought him FFVII(platinum). I didnt even know if he would like it. I had always thought that the games would be crap and that i would never play them. When i opened the box just to look at the discs, i noticed that the man at the counter had given me the discs of FFVIII instead of vii, and it had just came out. I said i mite as well play 8 as it was new, and to my surprise i loved it!!!! best ff game ever by the way. So i kept the game and bought my friend a beenie hat n a wallet!

2001.

4th Grade.

Some of my friends were playing pretend on the playground, one of them shouts out Blitz Ace, and for some reason, I went to go question why they yelled that. They told me that they got it from Final Fantasy X. My other friend tells me to go play FFIX, because that was his favorite. When my mom picked up VII instead of IX, I was mad at first but then I coldn't be happier.

My brother was the oldest out of me and my cousins and we'd all hang out together and watch him play final fantasy. I remember one time when he was play ff2, my cousin Danielle and I were fighting over who should be Rosa, because neither of us wanted to be a green haired chick. She ended up winning. -.- Then years later everytime my brother would play ff7, I would sit down by him and watch him, even when he was leveling up, I found it to be entertaining, so he gave me a copy of ff3 and I set it up in my room. The end.

I saw one of my wife's cousins playing FF7 in 97 and i just fell in love with it.

[Tama2]

I walked into Super Star Video. Looked at the shelf and saw a strange little white thing lookin back at me, while it grasped a sword. FFIII, when I first saw it for SNES. Now, FFVI. I don't remember when I 1st played it or how old I was. I'll I know is that I was a little kid that loved this new found game.

My uncle bought a play station to his daughter and it brought the FFVII as a gift . My cousin didn´t know english,so my uncle gave us (my sister and me) the game. By curiosity we played it. The rest is history.

[Mo-Nercy]

At a friend's house, where a group of us had gathered to celebrate his birthday. A friend of a friend of mine had brought his Playstation (which was the epitomy of cool back in 1998) and his Final Fantasy VII. While munching down on cake, we took turns using his nearly maxed out characters to beat up random enemies. I also developed my love of Maltesers at this same party, so it was a very memorable day.

I bought a PS like a week later.
