Hmm, I remember getting the Nintendo Power strategy guide for Final Fantasy and being bummed that an entire issue was wasted on that so Final Fantasy wasn't the one that made me get into the series.

I remember playing and liking FFII on the SNES (FFIV) but I liked my awesome platformers better, it was mainly my sister that was into that game.

But FFIII (FFVI), that's the one that got me.

I still remember popping that game in for the first time and seeing that awesome mode 7 walk to Narshe. I remember sitting in school and thinking how awesome the phantom trench. I remember the incredible opera house and just how awesome zozo was. I remember being ready to end the game only to be completely shocked that I had just hit a major halfway point and then ready to cry at the solitary island. I remember getting my party back to together (oh man all that awesome character development!) and then making the long climb up Kefka's tower to finally beat him.

FFVI was the game that got me into the series, made me want to write a book, made me get into Dungeons and Dragons, and made me want to get into the game industry (I still remember arguing with my parents about me wanting to go to Digipen after playing FFIII and then reading about Digipen in Nintendo Power).

Final Fantasy VI is easily the most influential game on my life so it's pretty easy to say that's the game that got me into Final Fantasy. It's a shame they don't make them like that anymore and now just concentrate on graphics and how they can work Cloud into the game.

This, this and this.

To be honest, FFIV was the first I played and meade me a fan, but VI made me obsessed. lol
