No, my first Final Fantasy game was Final Fantasy 2 (IV) on SNES, but Final Fantasy 3 (VI) is still my favorite.

So, I have a bit of a theory concerning the Final Fantasy franchise. It seems that, for most people, whatever Final Fantasy was their first is their favorite. I'd like to test this theory.

I know that for myself, this is the case. FFX was my first, and is my favorite.

So, what was your first Final Fantasy, and is it your favorite?
First off: ALL HAIL GDW!


Negative. I watched someone play Final Fantasy I and I poked the game a bit myself, however I didn't actually hop into the JRPG genre at all until Final Fantasy VII, which was good. It was later that I played Final Fantasy VI (FF3 US) and that is my favorite iteration of the Final Fantasy series to date, with Final Fantasy III a very close second which I played many years and games later.[footnote] Although they both get demolished by Chrono Trigger[/footnote]

Final Fantasy 14 is my favourite... because it's the only one I've played. :D I do have lots of memories of watching my brother and cousin play FF7 though, and my brother play the one with underwater football and the sky pirate one. Yeah, that's how much I know about FF.
Underwater football is probably X, but was there one based on sky pirates? I saw that and immediately thought Skies of Arcadia.

My first was actually 3, but other than the class system, which I'm quite fond of (though FF5 did it better) I didn't really like it much. Then, FF7. It's good, but it hasn't aged that well. My favourite is actually either FF4 (including Interlude and The After Years) or FF6. Both are great.

You and I both:] loved FFX and cannot wait for the HD version on PS3.
Umm... the FFX remake is coming out on the PS Vita, not the PS3. Hope I haven't burst your bubble.
Except that it's being released on both the PS3 AND the PS Vita.

But nope, my entry into the series was FFX, but my favorite is easily FFIX.

Correct. They're referring to Blitzball. As for the sky pirate one, that would be Final Fantasy XII which has Vaan(who wants to be a sky pirate) and Balthier(who IS a sky pirate).

FF6 was the third one I played (the first two being 1 and 4) and it's my favorite, with Tactics (my fifth?) being a close second.

The first one I played was Final Fantasy VII and I don't really like that game. I think it is extremely overrated and thinking back they started the trend with emo main characters in JRPGs. Not only did they make their own game boring because of the line "I'm not strong enough" they made several other games fall into the same trap because of it. Final Fantasy VI is my favourite and Final Fantasy is not my favourite RPG series.

No, but only on two technicalities. My first was Mystic Quest and my favourite is Tactics. If we discount spinoffs though 7 was my first and favourite. X came close to dislodging it but messed it up with that atrocious ending.

My first one was FFXII and I was just a young teen at the time. I was almost convinced from that point on that the Final Fantasy series was complete and utter shite after that until my girlfriend practically forced me to go back to a few of the older ones. After VII, I still wasn't convinced, but then she made me play VI and IX and those two have since stayed at the top of my favorite gaming experiences.

No- I played Final Fantasy VII first, and I can't really bring myself to play it again. VIII is my personal favourite, followed by XII and X-2. I guess I just have a thing for card games, rib cages and vapid divas.

I played FF7 first. I liked it. Was not blown away like the rest of the world. I liked 8 more. Those were my first two, I got them on the same christmas.

I liked them both as a kid, I poured over 150 hours into FF7, not as much into 8 because I didn't know of a lot to do in 8.

But yeah, those are...actually not even close to my favorites. I didn't like 1 or 2, until they were remade on the GBA. Those are respectively, 3rd and 4th place.

I played 6, and loved it. The story is my favorite story so far. I really enjoyed FF6, I have much better memories with 6 than I do with 7 or 8, I enjoyed the characters much more.

But no, my favorite final fantasy was the 4th one I played. Final Fantasy 5. Hands down. My favorite FF game of all time. I loved the characters, the story was ..to some stupid, but I like to call it quirky. Either way it was endearing to me. The job system made the game a blast to play, over and over again.

So, no my first is definitely not my favorite. 7 is actually pretty low on my list. (it's a list of 8. I felt final fantasy has just gotten worse since.)

I'd say that's true for me. The first one that I played was VIII and I love that game. Though I may be a bit odd when it comes to FF games as I loved XII too, and no one else in the world seems to rate that game as anything other than rubbish at best.

Mine was VII and while I do love it, it comes second to IX.
I do know absolutely everything about VII xD but I loved IX. It was the latest of the FF games I played, I believe. I may have played it the same time I was playing FFXIII.
My second was X and that's my third favourite. I played them in a really strange order o_o

Sort of yes.

I played IX first and it remains my fvaourite to this day, but I have the feeling that if I had played VII or VIII first, IX would still have been my favourite. I prefer everything about it, the characters, the story, the gameplay, and I don't think that would change just because I had played something else first.

It was either Final fantasy Mystic quest or 2 that I played first on the super nintendo back in the early 90s. I always played games since like 87 but this was the first rpgs to be introduced to me and it blew my mind on the level of detail that most other types of games didnt have and I loved it. But my favorite one would have to be Final Fantasy Tactics. It was in fact one of the few Final Fantasys that I avoided cause it didnt look like anything special to me (chocobo dungeon just came out I think -_-). But I randomly got it as a gift from my mother and she never buys me anything lol, I was hooked! Besides tactics Id have to say 7 and 6 are next on my final list.
