I had played final fantasy tactics at a friends house, I didnt realize that tactics was pretty much out of print at the time(I was about nine and it was 1999) I went to wall mart and was attempting to buy tactics, they didnt have tactics, but they did have final fantasy seven so I bought that, I remember I couldnt get past the guard scorpion in the first reactor, so, I stopped playing it for a while and just left it be. The about a year later, I played it again and mastered it to death.

My cousin got her copy free with a PS1. I didnt play it cause I wasnt allowed to, she thought Id be dumb enough to save over her game ... I had never played an RPG before, just horror and beat em ups, so it looked interesting. I purchased a copy of Final Fantasy VIII after I witnessed VII being played.

Also Im thankful for VII as my very first boyfriend, who is now a massive FF fan, was deciding wherever or not to buy VII or a shooting game. So if it hadnt been for VII, we wouldnt have met even though we split up 9 months later lol.

My dad always played FF games and I'd sit and watch him play for hours, but I was always way to young to play. Then, about 10 years ago a little game called FFVII came out. My dad bought it, and at the time I'd never seen anything like it. I couldn't help myself, I'd seen him play rpg's so many times I wanted to try it myself. And I did! And I loved it! I've played it over and over again, and it's my not just my fave FF, but my fave game period.

Ah let's see. I was 12 when I saw my cousin trying to play this. He was in Midgar, at the very beginning of the game. Well, my cousin was only 8 or something, so naturally, he didn't really understand the game. I didn't either, but I tried anyway.

I remember getting confused because Cloud would keep getting smaller and smaller as I enter new areas, and I asked my aunt, "Um, what kind of a game is this?" She just started laughing at me because apparantly, she tried to play it too and had the same exact thoughts as me.

Well, few days later, I got the gist of the game! Then I borrowed it that summer and had been playing it nonstop!

I restarted the game though because I couldn't beat Sephiroth in the end. On my 2nd try, I seriously got most of everything in the game, without using a guide! I'm so proud of myself!

I just couldn't beat that monster in the ocean...Ruby or Emerald? I forgot. I'll make sure to beat him though when I play again soon! I'm so proud of myself!

After that, I've been hooked on Final Fantasy!

First, I'd like to mention that there is a difference between the original Playstation (PSX) and the first semi-portable PlaystationOne (PS1). Sorry, it just annoys me to hear the PSX called the PS1 as they are quite different.

I used to spend a lot of time at my cousins house, and we played video games together for days on end sometimes. One day when I came over he was playing FFVII, he was in Shinra's office building or something like that. At first it looked kind of stupid, but the more I watched him play, the more enthralled I became. Eventually, I just had to have it. I've loved it ever since.

I don't remember exactly where I got this..I think my dad just bought it one day, and never played it. I played it through Midgar when you first start the game, but I never was interested enough to play any farther, but then one day in the summer a few years back, I picked it up again, and beat it in like two weeks...so yeah, thats my story on how I got Final Fantasy VII.

Ive always called any version of the Playstation 1 a PS1. Doesnt bother me and Im not going to stop saying it anytime soon. Yes I did have a PSX, but I seen no reason to call it that.

I'd asked for a PSX for Christmas when I was... 12 and couldn't decide on what game to ask for. I asked my friends and they suggested Final Fantasy 7, which had already been out for a while (little did I know, they were trying to suck me into their little RPG world). Simple enough. Christmas morning, I was hooked. Final Fantasy Tactics followed the next year for my birthday, and the next thing you know we're planning a "release date party" for Final Fantasy VIII.

I know. It's sad, but it's true.

Well, I'd heard of the series but didn't know all that much about it when a girl with a playstation and FFVII moved in with me, haha

I figured I'd check it out and was completely floored, it was awesome <3

Played it on a demo disc. I had some knowledge of Final fantasy before that, but I was sideswiped by what I played on the demo which was the breaking in part at the beginning of the game with extra spells and summons
