Got it two days after it came out, so 1994. Of course, I haven't played it since probably 2001.

I got it shortly after it came out. I traded it a few years later for Chrono Trigger, so one great game begat another great game.

Cannis Rules: Balance of Power - My favourite Yuri's Revenge Mod

Christmas 2004. I've only played it for a few months and it's one of my favorite games of all time.

Fifth grade, in 1996 (maybe early '97, but I remember I wanted it for Christmas, so I think '96...). After getting Anthology for the PS1 four or five years later I gave FF VI (and Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, and Earthbound) to my friend Patrick.

I null voted, for I, too, began playing it on that fateful Christmas morning in 1994. Eleven years, then. I've played it about twice a year.

Eternal Sleep, Track 1-1: The Blue Planet

I'm a latecomer, so I finally got hold of my copy... whenever it got released in the UK. I think it was around 2002, though that definitely seems a little too long ago.

Between 1994 and 2002, the only Final Fantasy I owned was Final Fantasy IV (II US Version). In 2002, I went up to Blockbuster after finally getting a PS1. (Yes, I know, the PS2 was out by then). I rented, and burned a copy of Final Fantasy VII, the worst Final Fantasy ever. Although it blew big donkey balls, I eventually bought it and Anthology on the same day at Best Buy. Since then, I have purchased every Final Fantasy you can buy in North America.

So, twenty-oh-three.

i started playing it when it first came out on the ps1 with the demo of FF10, which was in 2002.

Owzer: P... please... Help that painting!!
"The painting!?"
Owzer: It's... There's a monster hiding in my prized painting of a goddess...
"A monster!?"
Owzer: Yes... And now it's nearly impossible to get it to show itself...
Relm: Ahhhhh!!

I started playing FFVI, you know, renting it, in 1995, but I actually owned it in 1996. Sad thing is, I hven't beaten it once yet, and I'm old enough to solve most any game by now. X_X

John: So you don't want your screen saver to come on for another four hours?
Me: Where does it say that?
John: Here where it was 240 minutes.
Me: Is that four hours?
John: Yeah, 60 X 4.
Me: Is that four hours, though?
John: ....They'll never take you back in school.

xD;

A friend at school and I borrowed each others games. Luckily for me, he never returned F-Zero. That was back in 1997.

The summer before I turned 16, 1997. My friend lent it to me, and then later she lent me FFIV.

I played it again recently, but that was the Anthology version. After playing FFVI back then, I wrote my first fanfic and it was posted here. It's not there anymore, I took it down a while ago.

I had an old signature. Now I've changed it.

I voted 1997. i bought my SNES off my brother in late 1996 and in '97 i started playing FFVI. And beat it last year lol. I still have my snes and still play it.

'94. That November, to be exact; a month after it came out, if I remember correctly. I couldn't wait 'til Christmas.

My brother let me borrow it for the first time about 1997.

I first played it during the christmas holidays of 1994 at my best friends', who had found it at an import video games dealer, but my father brought me a copy of FFII and FFIII the next summer. I would have said 1994, but I voted 1995 because that's w<hen I had my own copy (plus you can't vote 1994 )

I was in first grade... That's 9, years ago, maybe 8 1/2. I'd say '97, then.

Of course, I didn't catch up on all the plot twists and really didn't read much (Because I was still in the midst of learning it, I reckon), so I thought Celes liked Shadow and was totally unaware of Relm's father. Also, I though when Edgar's technique was "getting a bit rusty" it meant something along the lines of him fixing up his castle machinery. XD

--------------------

You're telling me that there's no hope.

I'm telling you you're wrong.

I played for the first time in 1998 but i didnt actually own it until 2002, i play it all the time.

"How do you prove that you exist...? Maybe we dont exist." Vivi, FF9

For me it's hard to say, I first played it on my emulator on my old desk top computer which I'm guessing is around 2001, but it f'd up and I finished it when I got my current laptop about 3 years later. Yup, I had to wait around 3 years before I could beat the game!

"Have you ever seen a baby do that before?"

I was still in 8th grade when I first started playing it. Probably 1994 or early 1995. I was a FFVI girl by the time I started my freshman year high school in 1995 (always drawing fanart!).

"Arthur Dent?"
"Yes."
"Arthur Philip Dent?"
"Yes."
"You're a total knee biter."

I started about a year after I learned about emulators, so 2000-ish?
A year after that was when I started keeping up with video games again, so I missed out on FFVI when it came out.

I bought the cartridge for myself a few weeks ago online for half of what the guy at the Flea Market wanted.

I download the ROM for the game in the Summer of 2004, but the ROM got deleted. A friend of mines at summer school was buggging me about downloading Final Fantasy III/VI alone with Chorno Trigger. Another friend had download both games and they were tellin me how tight and great the game was and so on. So I gave up and downloaded it late 2004 or ealry 2005. Final Fantasy III/VI is maybe the only game I play on my SNES emulator these days.

i voted 1995, but I think it may have been earlier.
Only it was my brother playing it, while I always sat beside it and watched. I guess you could say that we played it together, only, he was the one who held the controller.
I was some kind of one-digit age.

I owned and played it in 1995, Still own the old Snes and all my games. Though i prefer playing them on emulators now(skip through parts with the tab key )

2003. Last year of high school.

Played up to the Floating Continent, then after starting college, finished the game in late 2003.

I must have been in middle school or so...so I guess I would have been about 13...which would make the year 1996. I'd read about Final Fantasy II in some book about video games and subsequently become obsessed with it. At some point during seventh or eighth grade, a friend of a friend of my mother's called me to babysit for her two children, one of whom was only a grade behind me. He had Final Fantasy III. I hadn't even realized that it existed. He showed me how to play it while I was supposed to be watching the little kid. Oops.

I'm not sure when I finally owned it. I remember asking for it for Christmas one year. It was all I wanted, but my parents couldn't find it. I was disappointed on Christmas morning, but I didn't throw a fit, and my mom felt really bad, so she kept looking and I got it for my birthday.
