What age do you need to be...?

[Elpizo]

Okay, after somebody said that when you are a fourteen year old boy (like me), you're to young to play and understand teh greatness of teh FF classics, I began to wonder.

Which age do I or other people of my age need to be to be able to understand and play the FF series?

I really need to know, ya know, because after playing all FF from I to X, after they said that to me, I suddenly don't understand a bit of those games anymore! Now I need to wait until a certain age before I can play and udnerstand them again!

So, what age do you need to be to play a FF game?

According to the recommendations on the game cases, you should to be 11+ for FFVI - FFX and 12+ for FFX-2. I don't know what the recommendations are for the other FFs, but I'd assume they're similar.

IF you can read and have some comprehension skills your good. Age, to a certain degree, is irrelevant. Its mostly comrehensions skills. 14 should be perfectly fine to understand them, at least for the most part, I mean I think I was around ten or so for 4, and I understood it perfectly.

Yeah, he was being ignorant; we get it. You don't need to make an entirely separate thread just to bitch about it.

Bleh, I usually don't do such things, but it made me actually explode the size of Sephiroth's supernova.

And hey, he didn't want to talk with me anymore, I had to go and play with a doll.

But, there might be otehr persons who would liek to know which age they should be to play FF's.

I really don't want to be annoying, and this might seem kiddyish, but oh common... We all do things like this, even if it is only once.

Seemingly I am the perfect age to play FF's, I'll just go now and play Kefka's tower, if you all don't mind.

I played it when I was 11. you should be quite good in 14 (same age of mine this year). my friend's brother played it when he was 7.

Flame him all you want, I just don't see any reason not to do it in the same thread.*

If people honestly want to know how old they should be before playing FF games (if they are a member of this forum, it's a little late) then they can simply read the label on the front of the box.

Sweetie, dont let it get to you. This person is a mere three years older than you. Trust me, if age has anything to do with enjoying these old games, he's just as much out of the ballpark as you are.

I think was was around 8 when I picked up an FF game (cant remember if it was IV or VI). I dont see why an 8 year old now couldnt play those same games and appreciate them just like I did, unless of course one has become too spoiled by pretty graphics. It just depends on the person, really.

What's important is your individual intelligence and cerebrospinal magnitude, of which your age is but a meager indicator. There are effing brilliant eleven-year-olds as well as middle-aged pig illiterates.

[Crossblades]

Anybody can play and understand any FF game. Doesn't matter how old you are. Don't let people like that belittle you

[Twilight Edge]

I started playing VII,VIII and IX last year(I don't have a PS2,so I didin't play X)when I was 14 and I understood it perfectly.Age is not a factor.You'll be fine as long as you can read.

[Vivisteiner]

I was a really little kid when I 1st played FFs, cos my bro bought the game to play and I was about 8. But I understood it fine. Its not that much more complicated than a decent story book.

[Ramza Beoulve]

Well, I started playing videogames when I was 4 years old, and I played my first FF when I was 7 years old (10 years ago) and I totally enjoy it, there is no reason to revenge, just if you enjoy the game and understand it, then you have all what is needed

[Dreddz]

You dont need too much intelligence, getting through the games isnt that hard but understanding what was going on. I beat FFVII when I was only 9. But didnt understand the story too much. I feel I have gotten more out of each FF by playing now when I have more brain power than before. But I still enjoyed the games back when I was still a single digit....

[Lost Number]

I started at 8. But now am I am still learning more and more about the symbolism and true greatness of the games.
