I first got into Final Fantasy when FF7 came out in 1997 and i was walking around a shop and saw it not knowing anything about Final Fantasy at the time. When i finally brought it i played through the game and thought it was brilliant.

After a couple of years i found out FF8 was coming out and when it did i rented it and thought it wasnt as good as FF7, after about a year i brought FF8 played through it and thought it was awsom and that was the point when Final Fantasy took a grip on my life and i have spent many hours perfecting them and if i didnt would have probably spent them hours in front of the TV so im not disapointed:p

I actually got myself into FF, but how did you guys?

i was walking through my local video store in ak, and i saw my first 4 disc game, final fantasy 8. thats what got me to rent it and then become obsessed with the series. 4 discs just blew me away. i was 8 or 9 i think.

FFVII was brought to my attention by an arrogant shop assistant who couldn't be bothered with a proper refund for a bad copy of Theme Hospital so told me to just pick a game of the same price from the preowned section. FFVII was the only one with the same price, and the back looked intriging. I had no idea what it was about, but had heard a few good things about it before.

My Brother demanded first go when I got home - thankfully he died at the first boss and went right off the game - whereas I was instantly addicted.

My brothers friend had played ffvii and on and he rented ffx one day and I picked it up when he wasn't playing it and I have been hooked ever since. The crazy thing is that I played about two hours of ffx without saving because I didn't have the memory to save so I had to play the frist part of the game over. So thanks to my brothers friend.

Well a little while before FFVII came out I was playing Tomb Raider. All the magazines were saying how great TR was and then this game called FFVII arrived and all the magazines were scoring FFVII above TR. I loved TR and I didn't believe that this crappy blond haired bloke could provide a better game then Lara. So I thought I would try it so I could laugh at it. From the opening FMV I was hooked and I've never looked back.

I was at least in Grade 9 (2000 or 2001) wyhen my brother brought home Final Fantasy 7 from a friend. This friend let him keep it because he was done with it and my brother was willing to give it a try. I watched him play a little until he died at the red scorpion in the reactor. He said he didn't like it so I asked if I could play and he said that I could have it. Ever since I first played it / owned it, I loved it. I played through 7 and then I went ahead and got FF X.... and so on. That is how I got inot FF, and the remarkable part was that I didn't even have to pay for FF 7!

I'd just got a Playstation a couple months after Final Fantasy VII was released (first console since Sega Megadrive/Genesis), and was just getting into games properly. Obviously I wasn't savvy with the big games coming out and all, but I'd heard a lot of fuss about it. Hearing it was a similar game to Wild ARMs (which I love by the way, top game) which I owned, I rented the game. I was quite intrigued, not blown away, but I wanted to keep going. After the stingy rental period was up, I asked for the game for my birthday. I got it then, played it, loved it, and bought more FFs. The next was IX, then VIII, then IV and V (PS remakes), then VI (PS remake) and then X.

The whole finding out about FFVII thing may not be 100% accurate (my memory is hazy :P) but it's something along those lines :D

My uncle bought FF7 on the day it came out here in Europe, having gotten into the hype. He hated it so he let me play it and I came to adore the game even if i was only 7 and was terrible at the time.

Me and my friend still laugh about how I was completely against FF at the start! He was in HMV and he saw FFVIII, picked it up and I quickly said "Looks crap, I wouldn't buy it." Ignoring my critique he bought the game and we went to his house to give it a whirl. I watched him play it for a bit and the lack of interest slowly dissipated and was replaced by entrigue. I kept asking him what he was doing (I didn't get the junctioning system back then!) and he kept trying to explain it. Once it finally sunk in I realised the game could actually be incredibly interesting and the graphics (at the time) looked pretty badass! So the next day I went and bout my own copy, a bargain at £9.99!

I got into Final Fantasy in 2001. My friends talked about it a lot (it was FF9 at the time). So when I got a PS1 it was one of the first games i bought. I got a thing for medieval stuff, the graphics and layout were pretty good, so put 2 and 2 together... Since then I've played and finished FF7, FF8, FF9 and FFT. Still like 9 the best because of the setting although 7 is a close 2nd.

Yeah, I don't own my own NES so I played them at a friends house and I just couldn't get into them. If i remember correctly one of them didn't give you a storyline to begin with, you were just thrown into a map and expected to battle and find out where to go! Forgive me if I'm wrong but it was years ago >.<

I watched a friend play VII one day, it felt like I just watched for half an hour or so, but you know how time fly, so it might be more. I just knew it was the game for me, so the next day I bought the game and borrowed a ps1 so I could play.

after a month I finally got my own ps1, a couple of weeks after returning the one I borrowed - reluctantly, but as agreed, and I've been a fan ever since.

VIII soon followed, then X and now I'm playing IX - tried X-2, but I only had it on loan, so I didn't get to try it out enough - didn't really convince me to buy it though.

FFX-2 also got me into the series, I got the game because I'm like, this looks cool, got halfway through and I'm like, I need to know what happened before, so I bought X, then I bought 4 for GBA, VII and IX, because those I were told were the best, are there any other games I should get from FF series? (If you count KH, I already have both.)

Funnily, it's all thanks to my mum that I love final fantasy! She bought FFVII just after it came out cause she thought it looked quite good, but she hated it. Me, being a person who hates things going to waste, decided to play it just so I don't feel bad. And now, 9 years later, it's still my favourite game ever!!!

I would have to say looking at many video game websites and their reviews and what people think of them. But what got me the most was when FFX was comin out, i have never seen so much hype for a RPG ever. So i started with 8 (couldn't find 7) and i loved it. Just got FFX and i wish i bought a PS2 instead of a damn gamecube so i could get FFX sooner....

I  was in a Gamestop and we were looking at PS games. Well, I was only 6 so my dad starts glaring at this game.

I come over to my dad and gasping at FFVII. So I ask him what's that? He says It's FFVII. Then my dad bought the game we went home and dad only let me play it so...that's how I got intrested in Final Fantasy.

That's pretty close to how I got into it. Back in 1999 my brother bought FFVII and played it, gave it me saying I need to play it, so I did. Loved it to death so I went out and bought FFVIII. First time I played FFVIII I didn't like it but I played it again and loved it. Been into Final Fantasy ever since. Actually, I just beat FFVIII for the third or fourth time today. :D

I was at my uncles apartment when i was in 4th grade. Hes a doctor so he had all the cool stuff, which just so happend to be a ps. I begged for one from my parents but i was stuck with a genesis. He had a demo of FF7 with cloud on the front looking at the shinra building. I popped it in and thought the game was amazing. Didn't play it ever again until 6th grade, when i saw FF8 thinking it would be like FF7... nope but it rocked i've been hooked ever since.

I first heard of Final Fantasy in 1990. Five years later, a friend of my brother, who was born between my brother and me, got me into Final Fantasy. He strongly talked me into becoming a Final Fantasy fan. He influenced me to rent Final Fantasy IV (then called Final Fantasy II). One month later, I was introduced to SimCity, a western game franchise. One year later, that same young man gave up his copy of Final Fantasy IV to me. I began to play other Final Fantasy games in addition to Final Fantasy IV in late 2000. I have been a big Final Fantasy fan ever since then.

I saw a preview for Final Fantasy 7 in a gaming magazine. At the time I was still playing Sega Genisis, so I decided to get a Playstation so that I could play this game, and I was glad I did. I have been a Final Fantasy fan ever since.
