Yeah, at the time I was so young that I didn't even realize (or had the ability to check) that it wasn't the actual third game in the series.  Heck, I didn't even know until maybe a year ago that it was actually a part of the SaGa series. 

When I got the game, I loved it and played it like crazy and when I eventually saw Final Fantasy VII come out for the PS, I couldn't help but put two and two together and I had to purchase it, along with the future releases of Final Fantasy. 

Sadly I never had either of the NES games and I didn't own a SNES until about 4 years ago.  So I didn't know about or couldn't get into any of the other FF games sooner than this one or sooner than finding out about VII.

FFX!!!

FF7 due to PAL release.

FF8 on PC.

FF10 killed the franchise for me ... could be my own fault b/c i played it wrong.

Though i will definetly play FF13 when i get my Slim later this year.
