my friend's copy of FF1, way back in 1994, I was 8 years old at the time I was hooked on RPGs from that day forward.

The first FF I owned was FF6 (FF3 back then) in 1995. I can't remember how many times I stayed up all night playing it. It was a complex as heck for a pre-teen, it took be 3 YEARS to beat it , longer then any other RPG I ever owned.
