What was your first Final Fanasty and how did you feel about it at the time?

My first FF is FF13; I just bought it for Playstation 3 on Black Friday and I have been hooked ever since I pressed start. I love it! I'm only about 10 hours in and its killing me that I won't be able to play it this week becasue of finals.

What was yours?

Final Fantasy 6. I was deeply interested in the FF series due to the universal praise it got so I got FF 6. Sadly, FF 6 was one of the worst games I've ever played. I hated every single thing about the game. It nearly made me quit RPGs altogether. Thankfully, I didn't and I managed to play Chrono Trigger which removed me from that sort of mindset. I then played the amazing FF 7 for the PSX and I understood why this series was so loved.

If you really had so much fun with the first hours of FF13 (which count to the most boring hours in any FF ever (which doesn't mean FF13 as a whole is boring)) then you're going to have one hell of a happy gaming life.

My first FF was 10. Thought: Meh, playable. The annoying characters turned me off. But it was at least good enough to get me into the FF series so I'm thankful.

I think my first was 9 (might've been 8, though), and I loved it. XIII is a good game, but it is nothing compared to 7-10.

FF1. I was very young and didn't really enjoy it. I barely remember but I think that I stopped playing without getting very far.

Next was FF6, which was a great game. I still have the SNES cartridge.

If FF13 is your first, you really owe it to yourself to play FF7. You could probably pick up a used playstation for 30 bucks or less if you don't have one.

The Very First One! I remember reading nintendo power and was blown away at how big the title seemed., Even outdated it was the first one and its like a drug you never get the same experience no matter how good the sequels are. Loved how you progressed then halfway thru you got the grown up versions of your party,. The time aspect of the story also was very well done.. Later refined and used in the Chrono Series. Wish Square still made good game play.

my first ff was 7, and im goin to b honest, i didnt really like it at first(didnt even make it out of midgar), but i bought ff 9 n LOVED it n beat it, went back to finish 7 after n thought it was second to n64 zeldo OOT.(off topic, mynow fav ff is 12 :P)

FFX-2 *runs and hides*

Nawh seriously, i really enjoyed it :P I think everyone has a soft spot for their first FF and in my case i don't mean the ladies XD The battle system was great.

FFVII and loved it. I still love all the Squaresoft-era Final Fantasy titles (FFVIII being the exception), but ever since FFXII I've just stopped caring for the series. XIII / XIV were pretty much the nail in the coffin for me.

My first experience with Final Fantasy was just this year when I downloaded No. 1 from the Wii Shop. It was nothing special, in fact, it was quite badly designed and confusing. I have since got 6 and 9 for PS1 and they are both masterpieces.

Final Fantasy 6. It is still one of my favorite games.

Dood, it's called an opinion. :P

Not like it unless it's a graphics king? I thought FF 6 was one of the graphic kings of its time with some insanely detailed sprites. Do graphics make a good game? No. I couldn't connect with any of the characters and I wanted to slap Terra on more than one occasion. It wasn't fun to play either.

Welcome to the brotherhood of FF13 fans. We are but a small number, so be forewarned. :P

My first FF was FF5... yeah. Never finished it, but I bought FF3 a few years later and couldn't stop playing it.

The first I started and played to completeion was 7 and I thought it was the coolest thing since sliced bread. I had played 6 before 7 but 7 was what really got me into the Final Fantasies.

mine was the original and it was great. Got it when it came out. I finished it then tried different teams of classes for added challenges, like trying to finish the game with 4 white mages. Now thats a good time.Allicrombie

Mine was also the first , and the same goes for me.

Final Fantasy (NES) was the first rpg I played in my life;at first I didn´t liked it cos the characters never move from the same spot,but now the FF are my favorites rpg´s,including this one.

Final Fantasy VII. Even though I had a nes & snes I had never played the earlier ones. I didn't like it. I played it after I played Dragon Force for Sega Saturn...maybe that had something to do with it.

Final Fantasy X. I was kid when I got it and I thought it was a bit girly and emo. Plus, I find the sequences boring 'cause there's too much talk less action. Overall, I have no idea 'cause I got stuck at beating Seymour.

my first was FFX and i loved it

I got my first Final Fantasy game when my brother moved out and I got his old Super Nintendo.

It was Final Fantasy II (or IV). I was obsessed with that game to the point where my parents were a bit concerned, given that I was 7. I would constantly play through it and then start over again with a new party and strategy. Then one day my older sister got mad at me and threw the cartridge against the wall, and it broke. Forgot about that.

I actually haven't played it since then. Maybe I can convince my sister to buy me it for the DS :P

FFXII only play 30mins and got bored have never thought of trying another FF game probably never will.blaqphantom

That's a shame because FF 7, 9 and 10 are really great games. FF 12, 13, X-2 (terrible..) and 8 are mostly considered to be the weakest in the series.

FFVII. I'm in the middle of playing it right now again and I still like it alot.

My first Final Fantasy game was Final Fantasy 7, played and beat if for the first time about a year ago. It was a really darn confusing story for me at times. But besides the confusing story it was a great game for me even if it was on the childish side at times. Completely awesome music, great characters, diverse and interesting environments with an appealing art style, as well as a fun and interesting battle system. I think I might like Final Fantasy 9 more though, and as for the last Final Fantasy game I played, lets just say it was very shallow and dull.

The first final fantasy I played was X-2 but i didn't like it. Then i tried ff9 but i didn't have a playstation memory card so i couldn't play it.

And Last, I played FFX and it was the best game i have ever played
