Where did you hear about Final Fantasy from?

I personally was on Twitch when I learned about FF.

I've been playing FF since I was something like 6 years old. My family had an SNES and a copy of FF3 (FF6), and while at the time I could hardly play it, I remember my dad having a file at the end of the game and for some reason I just loved spamming Fire3 because dropping meteors on things as a child was infinitely amusing. I unfortunately did not win at all because what is Cure spells?

I think my next exposure after that was when my next door neighbor had a copy of FF7 when it first came out, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I picked it up from there, and I've since played almost every title in the series.

I was at the local game store many years ago and though "Hey, this new game sounds cool!" So I bought it and popped it in my NES. *shrugs*

My sister played FF8 when it came out and I watched her playing. Later she gave FF8 to somebody and got FF7 in exchange. And that was the first FF I ever played: FF7 on my sisters playstation.

I was back in the States for two months visiting family. My hubby had to stay behind for work and got bored while I wasn't around. He found FF14 on Steam and tried it out. When I got back he gave me a copy.

My first FF game was Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest. It was a spinoff game for the SNES but still an FF game all the same. A few years later my friend at the time told me about FF 7. From that point on I was completely hooked. I've gone back and dabbled in a few that I've missed, though.

I was into Phantasy Star Universe pretty hardcore for awhile (before it went to hell and was eventually shut down) but while I was playing that a family member brought up FF XI. I gave that a go, and it was easily some of the best times I've ever had playing a video game. After a time I moved to WoW.

Not long after that FF XIV 1.0 released and I heard some pretty bad things about it. When I heard it was being remade and that there was a trailer for it I checked it out. The "End of an Era" trailer was and still is one of the most emotional trailers I've ever seen. Started FF XIV 2.0 in open beta and I've played pretty regularly since...except for the few months I was gone this years because I was mad at SE. We're cool now though, especially with gunblades mostly confirmed to be on the way.

Heard about it from other mmorpg buddies, after a couple years I started playing it on and off (this game).

If you meant Final Fantasy XIV: Just bought the PS4 version at Wal-Mart for about $20. Liked the game so much I eventually bought the PC version.

If you meant Final Fantasy in general: Back in the 90s when I had a Super Nintendo I rented Final Fantasy II just on a whim. . . . . It's not my favorite franchise (that honor goes to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms/Dynasty Warriors series although I've only played a few of them), but FF XIV is my favorite MMO though.

A friend invited me to the game during HW launch.

Originally, I had friends playing FF7 on PS1. I didnt care for the art-style, but when FF8 and FF9 came out I watched them play it (and then later played them myself).
However, it wasn't until FFX that I really got hooked on Final Fantasy games.

(Now if only SE would put the 13 trilogy on switch and remaster/remake FF8, so I can have all my favorite FF's on switch.)
