I haven't played any Final Fantasy game to be honest.
I don't really know where to start at this point. All I've got is a PS 4 so I can't really go too far back.
Oh really when?I've only played X, but my potential to enjoy the games is tied into Hype Aversion, so I'd have to say that X>VIII>VII>/=Whatever game Lightning is in.
I've played I, IV, V, VII, VIII, X, and XII yet I've never actually beaten a Final Fantasy game.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!If you've got a half decent PC then VII and VIII are on Steam. You can even get mods which replace the music with the orchestrated songs or the Black Mages songs or the versions of later entries. There even exists a mod for VII which replace the in-game models with higher quality versions of the battle models.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!Well I wasn't going to get it so soon but I got Xenoverse on PS 3 due to a sale happening on PSN where you can get the Time Travel Edition of Xenoverse (Game + Season Pass for all the DLC) for $69.95 AUD, it's normally about $122.95 AUD so I couldn't pass up this amazing deal. It's on sale for PS 4 for an extra $13 AUD but I'm not getting a PS 4 anytime soon. So I'm ok with getting it on PS 3 and will likely be able to play it soon.
Still thinking Freeza's Clan but I've heard it's not a very beginner friendly race due to their high movement speed. Thanks again everyone.
There's two reasons why FFVII is so fondly remembered: First, it was the first FF in 3D, during a time when 3D was all the rage, so it left more of an impression. Second, it was on Playstation, a console marketed specifically to people that thought themselves too cool for Nintendo or Sega, meaning it was probably their first video game with an actual plot.
I mean, it's a perfectly fine game, but seriously, you don't see people going this nuts over FFVI, a game that deserved it way more.

The plot's rather nonsensical, I'd say but that may be due more to poor translation. I mean, Square started handling the translations themselves afterwards since it was a trainwreck, right?
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!I feel it was a massive bone to all the people who hate how humans were tossed under the bus in the actual series.
One Strip! One Strip!The only Final Fantasy game I haven't played are 11, 13, 13-2, 13-3, and 14. 11 and 14 because MMO. 13 because it wouldn't run on my old PS 3 and I threw it away after learning that. 13-2 and 13-3 because lack of interest. I happen to like all of the ones I played alot, even 2, 8, and 12.

I've played more of VIII then VII, so despite having no right to throw my 2 cents in, I'll also jump on that Heresy bandwagon.
Nothing like pissing off fanboys. Greatest thrill on earth.
One Strip! One Strip!
