How did you get into FFIX?

[Rul]

For me, it was right when the news that a new FF game was coming out... back in May 2000.... 6 years ago. It really doesn't feel that long ago ^^;;

I got it a couple of weeks after it came out, on December 8... My mom has surprised me with it :3 She new how much I wanted it, and said that it was to special to wait all the way till Christmas.

I remember when I first heard the opening theme, I almost cried. Haha, I sound like such a nerd.

I already said how I did Lol. Liked FFX because my brother got it so got FFVII, FFVIII and FFIX for my birthday. In like 2004 I think. At the time FFIX was my favourite (still is, but equal with FFVII and FFX) I remember thinking when Zidane came on "Oh my God! A boy with a monkey tail!" Hehe.
My brother mocked Zidane when he saw him. He was forced to eat his words however because he likes FFIX as well now. Not as much as me though ^_^

I found out the same as R, since we are sisters and such.

[Mia the Rabbit]

Yeah, it took me ages to convert my brother to the PSone Final Fantasies. He still doesn't like FFVI but I've given up with that one >.<
He likes FFVII but won't play it because of the graphics. Apparently they're making a FFVII for the PS3 with updated graphics so he says he'll play that. I hate people who think graphics make games and sadly I am related to one >.<

[Etna]

Those people are annoying, i'm sorry. *pats on back*

[Rul]

I think it's a little shallow when people play a game only for graphics.

I don't actually think they're making it... I saw a movie, and they said that they were thinking about doing it..... it's going to be kinda sad though.... because you're going to get those so called FF-fans who have only played KH playing that one.. and never the original...

I'm sorry Mia... I know you already said how you got into it, but I thought it was a good idea for a thread.

[Mia the Rabbit]

It's okay ^_^
My brother doesn't really play games for the graphics, it's more he won't play certain games because the graphics aren't amazing. Who really cares about graphics if the storyline and gameplay are good.

[Rul]

I know!
It really annoys me how some people don't want to play FFVI because of the graphics.... I mean, it's one of the best games ever made.

I got into FF9 by... well I was younger... *thinks* You know... I don't really know how young I was it has been too long. But my mom had just bought us a PS2 though she claimed it as her own. (this was prolly... a year or two after the PS2 release) And we had no games for it so she took me to Sears, to where they sell games, and I looked at all the games. The only one that stuck out to me was FF9 though I had no clue what the hell it was at that time and had never even heard of an RPG. But it was my first video game besides the ones I had played from N64... but that was only SSB and LoZ:OoT and Pokemon stadium.

I really got into the game, I fell in love with Zidane (Even my mom thought he was cute >w< ) and ever since then, all the other final fantasy games pale compared to 9! (for me) It still remains my fav XD

[Mia the Rabbit]

It's one of my favourites as well (obviously) SOme of the reason why people didn't buy it were just out of spite, like not buying it because they only liked the Sci-fi style ones or that FFVIII was too similar to FFVII. The public can be such idiots >.<

Exactly, LOL. I'm not too into the Sci-Fi style, but I still loved FFVII.

Kitty... you were probably around 11 or 12...when you first played it... judging from the time frame.

I was 11 when I first played FFIX, lol. That was like... sixth grade... I was just about one of the onl FF fans in that whole school.

Kitty....its all because of Kitty Though I thank her very much so because of it~

[Rul]

I've turned people onto FFIX...

Like that wierd girl who defeated Baralai on her first try. And my other friend gave a friend a copy of it for her b-day.

[Coyote Regiment]

I made Kitty try FFVI >.> Though she got it through her comp, and ended up calling me asking me what the heck it said because it was all in japanese. I have the entire script memorized...so yah... Thats my obsession (FFVI).

[Kitty Masaki]

Nyahaha >3 I forced it upon her! I told her to quit the nasty 7 and go to the sexy 9 XD

[Rul]

My brother has secret of mana on his comp *whine* my computer is so old...

I wish I still had my FFIII version of VI...
I saw it in a game store for $60 O_<

[Coyote Regiment]

I have the SNES version of FFIII. Its worth 60$? Weird...but I shall never sell it!!!!

[Rul]

My mom let our neighboors borrow it...
and we never saw it again.
that was about 10 years ago.. i wouldn't sell it either...but still. That's a lot ^^;;

[Kitty Masaki]

I would never sell my 9 games! D: *clings to her games like a dragon hoarding her treasure* RAWR D<

[Rul]

I know!? Well... if you didn't like that game, I could understand, but selling a game...

This teacher I had once bought FFIX, beat it over the summer, and then retruend it ><
EVIL, I tell you, evil!
