I loved it when it came out. Imagine is IX were popular when it came out. We may have missed out on X, but there may have been a return to the more old school Final Fantasys.Clunks said:
I really wouldn't. The human looking characters make their idiocy stand out so much. They wander to mount doom and back just to find people and then immediately hand them over to who ever asks without a second thought. Not only that, but the game basically pulls plot resolutions out of it's backside without any thought towards reason or even basic sense. Perhaps if they looked like idiots, I'd be more forgiving to the horrible writing, but they have to throw in realistic rendering that would give all the protagonists wrist injuries whenever they so much as pick up their favourite weapon.Sean.Devlin said:

I don't want to rant on too long, so all I'll say is this. The aesthetic shift from cartoony to realistic just didn't work with the paradoxical shift from environments and objects grounded in reality, or at least plausibility within the established logic of the game, to environments and objects that look like that just for the heck of it.
Tactics was AMAZING, by far the best Final Fantasy game ever made. However, out of the main series, I'd say X was the best.
Honestly all of the games listed were great with the exception of XI and XIII. I enjoyed them all immensely. You really can't go wrong with any of the PS1/PS2 era FF games.
I'd say start out with FF9 and maybe follow it with ten then you can experiment. True FF6 had one of the bests storys but sometimes 32 bit graphics can be a bit of a deterrent for those starting out with the series. FF IX had a relatively simple story (without becoming dumb) that kept good pace, likeable characters (ok Kuja isnt the most terrifying of villains but hey) and the leveling system was pretty straight foward (unlike ff7 and ff8 where you had to take a college class just to be able to have fun with the system). Ten had better graphics and the ability to change characters in the middle of battle helped but some of the characters could be a little annoying at times (I'm looking at you Yuna and Tidus) and yes one dreadfull cutscene about laughter but pretty good overall. Seven...dont start with seven. Yes it has an inmense world, one of the best villains around, and some of the coolest characters around but it is also extremely convoluted, a tad long in some places, and... yeah its just not a good starting FF. Thats my two cents.
Meh, they're all flawed in their own little ways, but X was the first one I ever played, and it got me into video games in general, so I'd say it was good.
I think VI was better, but that's not on your list.

I played a few, 10 is the easiest I think (barring a select few boss fights) and is my favorite. (Don't judge me)
7 and 8 are both pretty good I hold them on equal standing.
I played 4 and it is very hard but I like it.
I didn't like 12, didn't try 13.
11 is an MMO and is more like backbreaking labor then a game and 14 follows the same formula as that.
Everyone seems to love 6 and 9 though I never played those ones.

Okay...time to slap some things into order again.Lagao said:
Phoenix Downs, in every FF game cure KNOCK OUTS.
Aeris died.
Little difference. xD
Don't preach that it's just game mechanics, that makes no sense. In the actual universe of it all, if Phoenix Downs could raise people from the dead...then no one in the abysmal slums of Midgar would die...as they have shops that sell them.
------------------------------------
While FF7 and FF6 are my favorites, I suggest 10, or the first for a good starter.
EDIT: Wow, 4 FF Topics all next to each other when I clicked this...
I'm still working my way through the FF series but if you want to know what the hell people are talking about VI, VII, IX, X, and X12 are probably the one's I come across most often. So pick and choose from there.
My vote is for FF VII.
But that's just me personally and a bias based opinion cause that's the first one I've played and love the most. But even I will admit VII's convoluted storyline and getting Midgar makes me want to break something get past Midgar and your good. But if you want a good story VI beats most. X is good too and XII is fun to roam around and beat everything to death on the same field screen. Though I would never recommend FF XIII as a first FF game to play and I was highly disappointed with it, it was still good. Overall just give them a try. They're all different from each other though some elements do intertwine. You like it fine, you don't eh you can say screw you people with back up evidence as to why you don't like them.
