I wanna get into the Final Fantasy series. Where should I start?

I wanna get into the Final Fantasy series. Where should I start?

VI

any

None

V
Also stop with V

VI -> VII -> VIII -> IX -> skip X because it's shit -> XII IZJS (or wait for the remaster)
then just stop
if you're into tactical games, play FF Tactics
then, if you want more, play through the first five

VIII

Final Fantasy Tactics and then drop the serie

If dubs OP plays V beginning to end

Any game. Don't like one then you can try another.

VI or VII are usually regarded as the best and most easiest to get into so it's really which one that interests you the most

>Unironically recommending nu-FF
Nomura was a mistake

Start with VIII, it has good mechanics and story. Not even baiting, it's a really good starter FF.

>good mechanics and story
>VIII
user, I--

Must plays: tactics(PSP version best), 4(snes PSP Vita or pax), 6(snes PSP Vita or psx), 7(PSP, Vita, or psx), 9 (PSP, Vita, or psx), 10 and 10-2 on ps4 or Vita.


Different but good: 5 (snes) 8(PSP Vita psx) 12(ps2) type 0 (ps3) world of final fantasy (Vita) 14 (PC mmo) crisis core (PSP)

Okay but can skip: 13 series, 1, 2, 3.

Ignore: everything else

Read a synopsis on each game then choose whatever one appeals to you the most

If you're determined to play the entire series, start from I and continue on in order. Otherwise pick the one from IV-VII that intrigues you and (drop them for now if they fail to grab you and) then play the rest. In case you have no intention of ever playing more than one Final Fantasy in your life, pick IX.

>Where should I start with [numbered videogame series]
One.

Just start with 7

>spoiling yourself the the entire series before playing it
kill yourself my main nigger

IV or VI for the classics
VII or IX for the golden age
Type-0 HD, Crysis Core VII and XV for the action rpg era
Dissidia because fuck yes
drop after that nothing else is really worth it except maybe for tactics

I'm playing V and loving it.
