So how did you FOUND OUT about FINAL FANTASY?

[Christmas]

I downloaded a SNES emulator back in 99 or so, and then started playing FF6, followed by FF5.

ff7 got me hooked :x

My uncle had FFVII so I (after hearing about it constantly from friends at school) tried it out and instantly liked it. Even though VII was the first one I bought, VIII was the first one I finished. At the time, i just could never get past that damned materia keeper.

My Nanny ages ago had a copy of FFVI ( she had an NTSC SNES )
I used to play it from time to time, That was my first FF experience. Got into it years later when my bro got FFVII, I was going through all his games ( I was playing RE the most ), and then started a new game save on FFVII, I was dipping in and out of it at first, But the further I got into it, the longer I played. Then I just couldnt put it down, some years later, I got FFVIII, then Years after that, FFIX. And so my love carried on.

The latest FF out at the time was FF8 and I seen it in a computer game mag. The day before I was due to spend my summer in Ireland I found it in a cheap game shop near my nanas for £15! So I asked if I could take my PS1 and that game with me and my nana agreed Thats how it started ...

I walked to my neighbors and rang his doorbell, when he didnt come to the door, I threw a rock at his window and he stuck his head out the window and said he had been playing this game for three days straight. I went up to his room and he was playing FF9. I just sat and watched him then borrowed it when he beat it. Then bought my own copy off ebay.

My brother bought FFVII on a reccomendation of a friend of his, I used to play his file every once in a while, then fell in love with it. (It was actually the 3rd game we got for our PS) so once FFVIII came out I got it! and the cycle continued. The greatest thing was we used to collect a magazine series that flaunted over every new FF that came out, which also inspired me to get the games

I fond out about it when I was like two becase my dad was a FF fan since the first one came out.

[MoonsEcho]

I got a NES for my 5th or 6th birthday and my dad bought FF1. I started out watching him play. Eventually we both got into it and I've loved the series ever since.

hmmmmm I went and played FF IV on a friends SNES(2 at the time)
yeah me and him played it tons.... the 8 and 7 from there non stop:mog:

[lionhearted]

I got a demo disk of FF8 from my mum's friend - she lent me the actual game once I turned up at her door with a sweet smile and puppy dog eyes! Played her FF8 for over 6 months before I gave it back! Then got my own one, then FF9, FF7, FFX, FF6, FFX-2.......

Hmm - birthday coming up - may just get the rest of the series...

[Little Blue]

I got IX for my birthday a few years ago, and it sat on my shelf for about six months before I began to play it, then I was hooked

[Lost Number]

I played 7 at a friends. Got hooked.

[starseeker]

I actually started on X-2 after my sis saw an ad in a magasine. Then I borrowed X off a mate and got hooked. I now realise how great the classics were (VI rocks)

[raskerino]

My English cousin was playing FFVII and FFVIII (both replays for him). He was a little before Aeris' death on FFVII (I didn't see it so it didn't spoil anything) and he was ending disk 1 in FFVIII though I did see the ending for that. I loved the look of both and when I got home decided to buy one. With a choice between them I picked FFVIII as I had liked the look of it more. That was my first FF, followed by FFVII, FFIX, FFX, FFT, FFX-2, FFI and I have FFII, FFIV, FFV, FFVI now but haven't completed them.

Edit: This also got me into rpgs.
