What final fantasy game should I play?

[Runa216]

Honestly? I recommend starting at the beginning if you can. Final Fantasy I is really simple but still fun especially if you play the Gameboy Advance or PSP version. After that you can likely skip 2 and 3, since those were so different and in my opinion not as good. IV was fantastic and a really good introduction to the mature phase of Final Fantasy. That had a fantastic story with rich characters and a lot of stuff to do. you can likely skip 5 because it's not as good as the others (still good though), and play VI. VI was easily the most mature of the series in spite of its 2D sprites and relative shortness. Seriously, VI is my alltime favorite Final Fantasy game and alltime favorite game. if you're only going to play one FF game, play this one.

Once you're done with that, play VII, VIII, IX, X, and XII. Avoid XIII like the plague, and unless you're into MMORPGS, don't bother with XI.

So play these ones:

I
IV
VI
VII
VIII
IX
X
XII

I Recommend doing them in that order, but if you must jump to the good stuff, start with VI, then VII and X. I really, REALLY Love XII as well, but for some reason people seem to think it sucks because the gambit and license system are weird.
