Anyone except me never play a Final Fantasy game?

[NoahsMyBro]

I've also never played any Final Fantasy games. The first modern RPG videogame I ever played was Skies of Arcadia on the DC, and I played it to the end. BUT, I found it somewhat boring, and pretty much what I expected from a videogame RPG. My expectation of them is that I wander around, have a story that's to a large extent forced upon me, and there's no real risk of actually dying. I'm basically just going through the motions as the story unfolds. No real suspense, no real challenge, nothing to get my pulse going.

BUT, I've found an exception - whether it's the exception that makes the rule, or proof that my assumption is flawed is still to be determined.

Around the time Zelda:Twilight Princess came out I bought Zelda:The Wind Waker for my Gamecube. I'd never played a Zelda game and figured it was worth trying, considering how popular the Zelda series was.

I haven't played the game in a long time, and I haven't yet finished it, but I liked Wind Waker enormously. It was a lot of fun. I was actually just thinking about resuming play with it earlier this week, but all other games are on hold for me until I finish up with the Activision Patch Challenge going on right now.

I like Dragon Quest and Megami Tensei better. Hell I like Earthbound/Robotrek/Secret Of Evermore better than any FF game I've played. The only FF I've ever even finished was 7, which i think I only liked at as it was a sidequest fest. The others I've tried have just bored me to sleep...I used a GBA copy of 4 to fall asleep for awhile there, literally.

and for the record I haven't played any metal gear, either, despite their status as "important" games nowadays.

I never played a Final Fantasy game. I never played a RPG of any kind.

I've played some FF games, but i've never beaten any of them or gotten really into them. I guess the longest i've played a FF game is for maybe 30-60 minutes, maybe even less, its been quite a while ago so i can remember exactly hehe :\ I dont know why i havnt played any of the FF games longer, but when it comes to RPGs i'm usually too lazy to start them and/or i dont get motivated enough to contunie playing them :/

I have played a few of the more recent FF games (FFX, X-2 and FFXII), but I've never played FF7...everyone acts like since I've never played FF7, I've never played a FF game.

I tried FF VII for a while before I got bored, played the very first one for a bit once just to see what the big deal was...shrugged, moved on.

RPGs are just not my cup of tea.

I've never played a FF game or a Zelda game. For me, it dates back to the 8-bit computer days. Although I played it I didn't care much for Ultima, Phantasie, or other 2D adventure/RPG games like that. I preferred Wizardry, Bard's Tale, and other "3D" dungeon crawlers of that nature. When everything started shifting to that 2D top down view, and later the 3D "Diablo" view, I lost interest. Same problem I had with platformers; I love 2D platformers, and never really got in to 3D platformers.

While I've 'played' an FF game on a couple of occasions, I've never actually PLAYED one.

Damn it I've tried, but just can't seem to get into them at all.

[Trevelyan]

No, I've never played any FF games, never!. I love the LTTP and OOT zelda games and love RPG's like morrowind/oblivion. I like the 'ye olde' style when it comes to RPG's but i would'nt ever rule out playing a FF

[jdc]

Hey, guess what? I've never played a Mega Man game!

[Sudo]

Blasphemers, all of you! Kidding of course, as this is coming from a huge Final Fantasy fanboy who has beaten all of the numbered games in the series and a number of the spinoffs.

Sorry for the thread derailing, but I've got a question... RPGs are hugely popular in Japan, so I was wondering - what would you speculate is the percentage of RPGs to non-RPGs sold in Japan? Would you say it's 50% of the market? Maybe 30%? I don't keep up with that kind of thing, so I have no clue myself, but I'd kind of like to know.

[DJ Daishi]

now thinking about it...I've never played any zelda games or mega man games...ahh, don't look at me!!!...and for some reason I have a mega man shirt signed by Keiji Inafune

[DDCecil]

I've never played any of the FF games... I've lived them.

[Kid Fenris]

I've never played a single game ever.

[ecresto]

I've never played a single game ever.

Liar yeah if you check the source this goes to your website =P

[Ed Oscuro]

Almost, but I've played Mystic Quest all the way through, and tried a few minutes of another one in the series (forget which).

Tell you one thing, final fantasy is not the best selling RPG series in Japan, Dragon Quest is. The healing spell from DQ is now an official Japanese word.

I haven't played a Final Fantasy game even though I own FF7 on PS1.
