FFX is a good one to start with (FFVI is good as well). Once they can handle those , then move on to VII, XIII, VIII, etc.

Final Fantasy X is one of my favorites - that and Final Fantasy VII. I was kinda "meh" on Final Fantasy 8, it had a steep learning curve and I just hated the junction system with those damn GF - although I loved the feel of being a mercenary with a paying wage (that was it). So Final Fanatsy VII wasnt all that fun. As for Final Fantasy 12 - the newest before 13 - its very fun if a little, well, staid but I would definitely recomend that as well because it was such a beautiful game.Proteus214 said:
Out of those, I only have I/II, but haven't played either much... VII and X are my favorites... VIII was horrid.
I'd say Final Fantasy IX, but I haven't played any other than VIII and IX. And do not buy her VIII.
wow, either 3 or 4, since those are the only two to have votes. I picked 4, because I like the story.
Or 3, because it has steam powered mechs...

Oh, you're asking for trouble by putting this question up. Give it time, and you might see this thread get a little nasty! You've been warned...
Personally, I like VIII, X, and XII, but then again I haven't played IX or II-VI yet (but I'm working on it!). I don't mean to start anything, but I find VII to be a bit overrated. X's always a good starting point for a new-comer to the series. And if they have a PSP, FF Tactics: War of the Lions is really good if they like Turn-Based Strategy games.

first of all we need to know what final fantasy games your friend has played and has so we can cross them off the list. from what is left we can use deductive reasoning to deduce the coorect final fantasy game for your friend. for example there are final fantasy's that have rts like final fantasy tactics the original or the remake war of lions
She's played 7,8,and 10twaddle said:
Shes said she wants to play them all one day (Don't know if that includes tatics/adventure/final fantasy 7 spinoffs/chocobo games)
I was mainly looking for like a list of the most updated version of each game with the most content/ personal opinions on which version is better.
For example:
I've played both Metroid, and Metroid: Zero mission.
They're the same game but one has more content, I for one prefer the original over the retconned remake.
Its just good to know how many versions of each game there are and which is fandoms favorite etc.
Only a few people seem to be actually reading my first post.
It seems everyone else is just coming in, and saying their favorite game.
Final fantasy 10, or 7, 8 is also good and so is 6, never played 9.... earlier ones you can easily get remakes of and 12 and 11 just plain sucked.
Let's see...There are not many updated versions of the final fantasy games except for the ones on the on snes. final fantasy X-2 is highly underated, but because of somuch flame from people in the past i would have to eliminate it despite the great battle system. If she had a psp i would recomend the updated final fantasy 6 beause of the fantastic new content and cut scenes. I would have to recomend you go with final fantasy 9 for one. This game will open her up to the older 8 bit games, seing how it itself is a homage to the previous 8bit games with updated graphics and a fluent story for the most part. If you purchase it try not to get it used as the game is notorius for having extremely worn down 1st disk. i would also recomend final fantasy 4 on the ds for the fantastic graphics. the story is done quiet well and the battles are typical final fantasy. My number 1 pic is 4 and number 2 pic is final fantasy 9daxterx2005 said:
If you can get 5 or 6 for the GBA (DS Lite will run it), those are basically the most valuable final fantasy games to any collector.
However, if she's only a recent fan, you'd probably be better off getting her some sort of memorabilia, like an "action figure" from Advent Children.
Because either she has all the games she needs from the series, or you'll end up getting her one from an era she doesn't like.
