What was the first Final Fantasy you ever played?

The first one I played was Final Fantasy VIII. I bought it from a friend of mine together with her Playstation, and it's my favourite to this day.:D I never really got into FFVII after that, I think the materia system and the lack of good graphics (compared to FFVIII, VII is pretty dull visually) made me a bit disappointed, after hearing so much good things about it.

I remember when i was realllly young and at a friends house i played some rpg on his NES, I had no idea what I was doing so didn't play it for very long. I realized that it was final fantasy I many years later, after getting the playstation version. But that was a loong time ago, I would count final fantasy VII as the first game that I actually played for real and knew what I was doing. Even after watching a friend play ffVIII before that, i still thought VII was a great deal better despite the graphics. The materia system is way better than Final Fantasy VIII's system of fighting. The plot was so much better, the characters more memorable, just an overall better game.

FF VII
i think it's a poor game with a medium graphic, unlike chrono cross, it was full 3d with 1:1 size and wonderful magic scene...
but when i keep playing it, i realize that ff VII has a good story, and a lot of minigames etc.

Mine was eight with squall and rinoa Etc

Same here!Played the FF VII when the first time I got my Playstation and loved it, I know the graphic is kinda dull compared to todays games, but seeing the Bahamut fmv/Odin/The limit techniques for the first time really amazes me.

I like FF VIII too, but only for the graphics and FMV, the storyline still cant be compared to FF VII, you got everything in it, theres love story, betrayal, lost n found, family reunion, every aspect needed to make a good story.

FF VII is the perfect RPG for all time!!

Mine was Finalfantasy VII, I have never played I-VI and XI, but all 7, 8, 9, 10,X-2 and 12 I have played and Dirge of Cerberus. I think Dirge of Cerberus is the best flollowed jint second by 7 and 8. I cant remem ber how I got into the series, but I have never looked back.

Final Fantasy VII ... a friend mentioned it in passing. Ended up being pretty fun and I still enjoy it.

Final Fantasy VII was my first. Until now, for me it is still the best in terms of storyline. I love it very much and am a rabid fan. I'm quite happy with the new releases of Dirge of Cerberus, Advent Children, and the upcoming Crisis Core. Go FFVII!

Wow I feel old. The first one I played was the original on NES. I have beaten that one as well. I have played every one of them and been a fan forever. I still have a working NES and the game. Olg gear is still great fun. Final Fantasy Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Final Fantasy 3 on Super Nintendo. I was just looking for a good game to rent and I came across it. After playing it that weekend diligently, I knew I had to get the game.
