When i was about 10-12 my dad brought home a ps1 with ff7. Had played ff3 before was ok but nothing great imo, but ff7 was awsome
sucked it was a used system and the controler wouldnt go right for some reason. I could start the game watch the sceen run by the train and to the next screen where u are in the end of a tunnel gotta go right, I could see baret biggs and all of em but couldn't get to them.
Was a long wait for like a hour till i got a working controler but all worth it  turned out to be tied for best ff ever imo. ff8 was equal to it to me but those were some of my first rpgs so may be why i like them so much.

You think Final Fantasy III/VI was "ok but nothing great imo?" Jesus Christ.

Final Fantasy IV, which at the time was FF II. Was all of like 8 years old or some shit.

These threads are starting to get very redundant and boring. I'm curious how you all got into the Final Fantasy franchise. Is it more of a pastime for you? Do you still religiously crank out ~15 hours a day completing disc after disc, sidequest after sidequest?

I, personally, was introduced to the PSX games at 11 years old. I had watched my friend play VII time and time again, for the most part knew the entire plot and was lucky enough to be over there when he beat the game. It took a while but I finally convinced my mom to take me to Wal Mart or Trade A Game or whatever it was, and she hooked it up with Final Fantasy VIII and the BradyGames strategy guide to go with it. At that age, without a doubt my reading abilities sky-rocketed, I learned to make better use of my imagination, and was able to get a good grasp on heroism, love, destiny, one's own true calling, before I was old enough to even have to deal with those sort of obstacles.

Easily one of the more memorable, molding days of my childhood/teenage years.
