I've never played any of the Final Fantasies...

You should play Final Fantasy VII(the second coming of CHRIST!) as it is the most popular, and the most sold. The game takes a step away from the traditional FF romp of mystical worlds in a mideval setting and goes for a more industrialized world. The characters are the best. Especially the villain SEPHIROTH! HE simply cannot be matched in pure AWESOMENESS!

Then after playing it you can watch the movies about the game, FFVII:Advent Children, and Before Crisis. Maybe even dable into the awesome prequal to the game known as Final Fantasy VII:Crisis Core.

FFVII FTMFW!!!!!
