I discovered my first FF from the TV. It was everywhere. Oh yeah I also bought Kingdom Hearts, thought FF was cool, went to Costco, bought the game (for it was on sale). Thus started my addiction to staying up late and trying to get that damned Jecht shot!

Fireemblem776, aka my psycotic best friend. The funny thing is, I'm better at them than he is.

ahem...off topic posts blackchocobo...

I got the Final Fantasy strategy guide with my Nintendo Power subscription, read the whole guide, and decided I had to have the game.

i found out about FF8 through my cousin who started playing it and it caught my attention. about a month later i bought it....(had to use my own money) and the day after 10 hours of playing. i was happy. the after i beat it and started talkin about it to other people. i was sad. because i kept hearing the same [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]. "7s better", blah blah blah. 8 sucks." decided to play it. thought it was good. really did. but i thought 8 was better...... the battle continues to this day.

It was eith 1993 or 1994 as I don't remember how far it was into the school year (I was in Second grade), but my school library had a subscription to Nintendo Power, so every week on "Library Day", each one of my friends and I would take out an issue of Nintendo Power. That year, I got ahold of an issue that had an article about Final Fantasy I. It wasn't the Final Fantasy I Guidebook issue, but a regular issue with NP's normal "give an introduction to the game" style articles. My friends and I were in love with the characters we saw in the art and screenshots. Fortunately a new kid had the game, and I managed to get him to let me borrow it, as he could never beat Garland. I don't remember exactly how far I got, but I do know I managed to beat Garland with four Black Mages. Not really much of an accomplishment now, but I'm surprised I could do it being 6 or 7 years old.

Ah, but since then, we got our hands on FFIV (II at the time), and FFVI (III). One of my other friends and I also got the ol' translated FFII NES rom during that time, and competed to see who could finish it first. I won.

My turn to give my two cents to the discussion.

I can't remember when I heard about Final Fantasy for the first time. I just thought it was a mainstream thing and therefore it could not be all that good, so I stayed as far away from it as I could.

However, at the end of last year, I finished my exhams at University and found myself in the situation of having to choose a subject for my thesis, and do it quickly. I was in desperate need for ideas. Most people had known their subject for years, but not me.

I asked to a senpai (one I hold very dear) for some help, and he told me "Why don't you choose Yo[img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]aka Amano as a subject? I wanted to do that myself, but I couldn't."
He had given me that suggestion once already, but after seeing some images I had decided that I didn't like Amano much and gave up. But this time, I felt like I wanted to know more about the artist. I found some things by him that I liked and finally picked the subject up.

I knew I HAD to talk about Final Fantasy because it was a major work of him, and in the meantime I had gotten into RPG's thanks to Breath of Fire I and II. So while I was at it I decided to download some ROMS just to see what I was talking about. My first Final Fantasy game was Final Fantasy 6. I picked up well, didn't I? ^___^

I never stopped. I'm listening to the music on the official Advent Children site and it's so beautiful, it's giving me a weight in the chest.

i was going out to rent a game from the video store, my brother said if i saw any final fantasy's i should get one, because his friend said they were good. Well i saw VIII and brought it back. My brother liked it, and i had fun (until the disk stopped working)

so the next time we went i borrowed final fantasy VI and VII, and my brother didnt like the graphics, but i had the time of my life!!! and thats how i got into final fantasy
