snes, age 10, ff6.

first ff was ff10, rented it, fell in love but like passed on it, went to pawn shop like 2 months after release, was on sale for like 10$, bought it, got veyr far but never beat it, shortly after my friend got ff11 online with the ps2 and harddrive, i wasnt familiar with mmos , seen him play a whole night so i remember getting my first job, first thing i bought with my saved $ as an xbox 360 i put on layaway at walmart for like 3 months, bought 11 that came out for xbox and was hooked on 11 for like 5-6 years, never played any other FF, and now im on ff14 online.

i started off by sneaking into my uncles room to play ff1 on nes XD eventually he gave me the system and the game... i think i was 4 or 5 at the time lol 20 years later still playin em ! =D

Years back, probably 10+ or so, Our military base housing (PMQS) has a yearly garage sale, picked up a few SNES games (Chrono Trigger, FF2/FF3) Went home and couldn't put the games down, Non stop greatness back in the FFs then.

I had an NES and SNES back when they were new but I was never really into RPG's, I played the basic Mario, fighting games, and side scrollers. It wasnt till I was 14 and in high school till I got caught up in the buzz of FF7. I got a PS1 earlier that year (1997 btw) then asked my parents for 2 games for xmas: Resident Evil Director's Cut and Final Fantasy VII. I was instantly hooked.

Funny thing I got so hooked on FF7 we had a HUGE snow storm that year and knocked the power out at my place for a solid week. My cousin got her power back like 4 days before I did....so I went over there everyday and played the hell out of FF7. I remember my mom saying "did he even move from the tv?" "only for bathroom breaks"

I've pre-ordered EVERY numbered FF game since then (except the online ones) and beat the hell out of them. Also went back and beat the ones on NES and SNES that I'd missed.

Question: Did anyone play the fan translation of the original FF3 rom for the NES emulator? I played it and beat it in a computer class I had....good times....good times. Awesome thread I love just sharing random memories of the FF games I've played.

I was 3, playing FF1 on the NES with my older cousin. Had no clue what it was until many years later after I had played ff7.

Haha that's awesome. Once I got tired of watching my friend play and decided to give it a shot myself, I don't think I ever left the living room. I'd sleep on the floor, wake up on the floor and open my strategy guide, my mom would bring my lunch/dinner to me and I'd eat it on the floor. Maybe not the most active childhood but I sure did have a blast. I was just thinking the other day about the Japanese FF III translation rom, was it good? It's something I really want to try out once I'm satisfied with my PSX resume.



Talk about a head start!
