Curious About Final Fantasy Franchise. Where to Start?

Since no Final Fantasy game are linked story-wise, or character-wise, this question makes no sense. If you're looking for which good Final Fantasy to play, then you already know the answer to this. As some have said FFVII is the most popular. FFVI is the one that is most popular to people who stopped playing Final Fantasy. FFIX is the most popular to people who like weird anime creatures. FFX is the "last great Final Fantasy", and everything else is "meh" at best. Take your pick. But, if you can, avoid FFXIII and its sequels.  

Actually, Final Fantasy XII, was one of the biggest Final Fantasy games, when talk about secret Foes, Huntings, the term "Hunter" define what you are in Final Fantasy XII, and the battle system was nice, everyone  was able to be anything from the start, the Licensing system was very nice, you could have 6 Black mages if  was you wish, and from the Start.

 

Final Fantasy XII, had a poor protagonist, but a good Side-characters, like Balthier, Bash, Fran, and Ashe, but the main protagonist that are Vaan, and Penelo, are not good characters, this does not make Final Fantasy Xii, a bad game, because the Support-characters, or the Side-characters, are so much alive, that fit the Hole that the Main protagonist make on the Plot. but as i said before, the Hunting, on Final Fantasy Xii, makes the game very funny, and make it worth despite having poor main characters.

 

other Final Fantasy games, are locked until the final of the game, or until you get on a advanced part of the game, because of that Final Fantasy VII, also is a great game, because also gives you freedom to chose your class.

 

Final Fantasy Xiii, was a decent game, but not the best of the Final Fantasy games, was too Linear, but instead of Final Fantasy X, had some good characters like Lightining, and some poor characters like Hope, while Final Fantasy X, all the Characters are unique, and we need each one in the plot, even when Kimahri, only speaking 130 words the entire 7 Hours of Final Fantasy X's Cut-scenes, he is a necessary, and a very good character, fits very well on the Plot.

 

the Final Fantasy Xiii Sequels,  the FFXIII-2, and FFXIII-Lightining Returns, are better than the Main Final Fantasy Xiii, because those 2 games were made with the help of the Creators of the Star Ocean's Series, so have  a better Battle System.
