I've been considering that too. Which game is the best to start with, or does it not matter? |
Going by the DS games, all of them are a little bit different. IV is broken up into chapters that all have a different focus until all the heroes come together. I enjoyed it well enough. V deals more with just having you as a human character most of the time, and otherwise you recruit monsters off the field to make up your team who you level up, equip, etc. The story is interesting and I had fun with the game. VI is more classic in that it has a job system as the focus for character growth. I don't recall much about the story, but I found the class system fun to work with. As for the original title, IX, you have to get used to the fact that the main character is the only non-generic throwaway character. IX definitely has the most content though, also has a job system, and it was one of my favorite DS experiences back when I first played and beat it.
My recommendation would go:
V/IX - For very different reasons, these two are tied for me. V wins for story, they tie for gameplay, and IX wins for amount of content.
VI
IV
None of them are bad, but I just find them to be the most fun in that order.
