    I discovered Final Fanasty when I bought FFI in 1991, I think. I bought it because the name sounded cool and it had a neet looking picture on the case.

    My best friend. He lent me FF IV for the SNES. I was bored of it at first, but then I really got into it the 2nd time I played. I then discovered FF VI for the SNES, I bought it and really got into it. From there on, I loved Final Fantasy

    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

    My cousin gave me a CD with SNES9x and a collection of ROMs to try out back in 2001. One of them was Chrono Trigger. I didn't even really know what an RPG was at that point (I'd played Pokemon but didn't really get it), but when I read more about CT I discovered Square's legacy. I downloaded the first FF ROM I came across, which happened to be FFV. I hated it and resolved to stick with CT. Then I saw a copy of FFVII PC in a store, and remembered the big hooplah way back in '97 when it first came out. I decided what the heck, and bought it. I was blown away. After playing FFVII and CT to death, I tried out FFVI, and it was equally amazing. I went back and gave I - IV each a shot - I liked II but the others didn't really grab me. Then I went forward - I bought FFVIII and Chrono Cross (loved CC, didn't like FFVIII). I don't have a PS2, so I bought my best friend FFX and we played through some of it together - it's pretty good but I haven't played it enough to really attach. Finally, a friend lent me FFIX a couple weeks ago and I am in love!

    I rented a game back in 1994 and inside the rental box was this other game called 'Final Fantasy II.' I was too young to drive back to the store and complain, so I started the game up out of curiosity. Been obsessed ever since.


    I wonder what the game I actually rented was.
    Take my love, take my land
    Take me where I cannot stand
    I don't care, I'm still free
    You can't take the sky from me
    Take me out to the black
    Tell them I ain't comin' back
    Burn the land and boil the sea
    You can't take the sky from me
    There's no place I can be
    Since I found Serenity
    But you can't take the sky from me...
    Listen to the Firefly theme.

    My uncle had FF1 on NES, when I was little.. I played that whenever my parents drug me over to see him and my aunt. Plus, my grandmother bought me a Gameboy and a game, which was FF Legends 3. I played it for a bit and found that I hated it. Because I assumed FFs were alot like FF Legend and the fact that I was a Sega fan, I didn't really touch FF until PS1 and FF7.. Liked FF7 and fell in love with FF8. Been playing ever since.

    I first about FFVII back in late '96 in a Japanese magazine, then I awaited the game for about tree months... then it came out, then I bought it.

    When FFVII had just came out.
    I didn't know of it, and I saw an advert for a company you could phone up and order games and accessories from. My mother said I could order a game, or accessory from it for my birthday. Anything.
    So I thought I'd order a gun for playing on 007:TND, that I had got in the previous christmas. I then read in a review of TND that it doesn't have gun compatability, so I decided I'd order a random game. I saw the cover of FFVII, wondered why the cover was rather bland and ordered it for the smurf of it.

    never looked back since

    1995.
    7 years later, I bought my first Final Fanasty. Thus, I am happy.

    It is known. :fpcow:
