Final Fantasy
will: wanton sex god:
just play almost nay of them. none of them are terrible, and they ARE similar enough that if youre just getting into final fantasy that if you hate one youll hate them all. ffx is a good choice because itll be easy to find, 20 bucks, and noe ffx2.
p.s. befor ei get flamed im not saying that all ff are the same, or even amazingly similar, but i think if someones new to the entire series its kind of love hate
Eldirial:
You do make a good point- even if the FF games arn't exactly the same, if you play one and hate it, chances are you will hate them all.
I think X isn't a bad first choice, but if you are a big graphics person the older ones will seem pretty crappy after that, unless you can put that behind ya.
Vlishgnath:
The only reason I wouldn't suggest FFX as a starter would be due to its strict linearity in comparison to all the rest. That could turn some people off. FF7 (loathe as I am to say this) is probably where you should start if you're new to the series. It's the most user friendly, imo, and just not a bad game overall.
There's also the consideration of what visual style of RPG you like. If you hate 3D environments, you're gonna hate everything post FF6 (Final Fantasy 3 domestically).
jhocking:
I like 10, but I do agree that 8 sucked. It was mostly fine except for the damn summonings; god it got boring sitting through those animations over and over and over.
Personally I would recommend starting with from the beginning (except skip the first; too primitive in gameplay, story, and graphics. Unless you're a really hardcore RPG fan, in which case it is candy from heaven.) As people say, the series is just as accessible no matter what order you play it, but starting from the beginning will allow you to appreciate the changes in the series.
Incidentally, what do people think of 9? I keep meaning to play it, but haven't gotten around to it.

I may be the sole voice here, but I liked it. Up to the very end, I was real happy with my gaming experience.
But take into consideration that FF8 is my #3 Final Fantasy game.
