I think Final Fantasy 3 is a good starting point. I haven't played many of the games though.

IV
Just do it

>>379251874
FUCK NO

it's boring as shit

i started with 6 so i'm partial to that one

VII is considered the best for good reason.

VI is also very good, along with IX and X.

XII is a decent enough game too, but most people hate it.

V and then don't bother

don't, FF is entry-level trash at the worst level. Play a good RPG franchise instead, like DQ

>>379251874

Final Fantasy 3 is good, especially if you go for the nes version instead of the DS

>>379251724

You can play them in any orders, they all have different stories.

I started with Final Fantasy 4, then 6 and then 5. They are best played on snes despite four and six being two and three.

You can also go for Final Fantasy 1, and then 2 on the gba. If you don't like 2's gameplay, just skip for the other one. And then make your way to the playstation games, 7 and 9 are great, but 8 has some stupid ass change to the gameplay

Past 10, that's where shit hit the fan and the gameplay no longer stays true to the series

>Play DQVIII, my first DQ
>So much fun
>Try DQI
>It's trash

Yeah, no VIII is like the only good one.

7 is the most overrated in the series and aged like milk, so I would avoid that.

It may be overrated because of all the circlejerk from people who didn't play the game, but it still a pretty solid adventure, especially if you do all the optional shit for fun

You are not going to find a consensus. Just do a little research and see which game(s) have the most interesting battle system to you, and then pick whichever story premise seems more interesting.

Otherwise, just play them in release order and drop any of them that bore you.

I recommend 5 as your first. Good baseline introduction to the tech and magic you'll find within the series and class change system can give you a heads up in on how characters in the other titles play. Story is completely simple but touches on what usually happens in these games... for the most part.

Five is special.

Just start with Final Fantasy X, like all these pretentious underage faggots in this thread.

>>379251724
Start with 1. GBA or PSP.

>>379252625
It's one of the most perfectly paced story structures in games ever.
Graphics aren't everything to everyone

>>379256171
You mean PS1.

>>379251724
12 for sure. Then move onto 10 and so on. It's best to get 12 out of the way first. Ignore 13 and 13-2 entirely.
