Welcome to c/FinalFantasy!

As this is a new community, we have to start somewhere. So why not a better way than getting to know each other and starting some conversations. We could start with these questions…

  • What was the first Final Fantasy game that you played?
  • Which is your favourite in the fanchise?
  • Do you have a favourite piece of music?
  • What’s the most memorable moment for you?

    Hello! I got my start as a young gamer when my mom got me FFIII (US) for the snes, and I got the launch edition of VII when it came bundled with a t-shirt. I’ve been slowly working my way through Square’s older FF titles and other franchises, like SaGa Frontier.

    If I had to pick one franchise, I guess it would be VII, if only because of the radical storyline, and things like the Golden Saucer.

    VII also has one of my favorite pieces of music, that being the main battle theme, followed by the opera music in III.

    The moments that most immediately come to mind are probably casting Knights of the Round for the first time, and playing in an opera in III.

    Good times!

      Hey @biff@lemmy.ca! Sounds like your mom really started something when she got you FFIII. That’s awesome.

      Some solid choices and favourites in there.

    Kupo!

    First ever FF was FF4 (or FF2) in SNES.

    FF7 is my favorite ever. Will never forget how I felt as young kid playing it for the first time.

    Hard to pick. But playing FF7R really got me several times. I was just in awe watching my childhood come to life.

      I know what you mean! Remake really helped bring some of great moments from VII to life much more than the OG did.

    hello, glad to be part of a federated Final Fantasy community. in my thirties and have played them all, started with 8 or 7 early 2000s then went from there. my favorites are Final Fantasy 5, Tactics, 8, 10, and most of all Final Fantasy XI. i really prefer a job-based system in role-playing games, as it offers a higher level of gameplay customization than normal; i also enjoy all the soundtracks, particularly Nobuo Uematsu’s work. recently i’ve been writing about everything i play on my site https://oncomputer.games/ along with my highschool friend, so check it out if you’re interested.

    My first was FF7 and it’s also my favourite although I switch between 6, 7 and 10 depending on the day.

    Favourite music would be Terras theme or To Zanarkand. Also really enjoying Find the Flame currently.

    FF7R was pretty special for memorable moments. My most memorable moment was when I was at my friends and they were trying to get a gold chocobo in 7. When I called the next morning they had been up all night doing it and it made me want to play 7 for the first time!

    My first was FFI via NESticle on DOS, but FFIV on the SNES was the first one I put real time in to.

    My favorite is FFVI. I replay once a year or so.

    I guess Battle With the Four Friends is my favorite piece of music. Fuck that’s a hard pick though. I jam out to all the battle themes as well.

    Most memorable moment is the opera scene in FFVI. It blew me away the first time and I still look forward to it on every replay almost 30 years later.
