Where to even start with Final Fantasy? (beehaw.org)

I’ve been wanting to jump in on the final fantasy universe for a while now but I’m not sure where to start.

To be clear, I don’t have hundreds of hours to play the whole series. Someone told me that each game tends to be somewhat separate from the series as a whole.

So what is the most recent game in the series that I can start with that is worth it to play and wouldn’t confuse a newcomer?

Don’t start with XIV then!

Hah, no kidding. Before I read that remark in the OP, I was going to mention it given it's completely free up until the end of Heavensward, but given OP's disclaimer and how many people get filtered by the slow burn of ARR it's probably the worst suggestion in the case.

... or maybe that's FFXI (much as I'm loving it!).

I wonder how many hundreds of hours I have in that game now... I'll /playtime next time I log in. I'm still in the patches after Shadowbringers, but I've also been known to focus more on roulettes and such than actually making progress in the main story

Hah, snap. I'm also somewhere around the end of 5.3, and have far too many hours logged (comes with levelling all jobs to somewhere between 70 and 81).
