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?

The only single player ones I've ever played have been 1 and 7. 1 was...old. The mechanics and everything remind me of Dragon Warrior but I kind of honestly just prefer Dragon Warrior (although I guess that one is also nostalgic because I remember watching my dad play it as a kid).

7 is much more modern but still pretty old at this point. It has a good story and interesting characters. It's been a while and I don't remember what the actual gameplay was like but I don't remember it being turn based.

I've also watched my BF play quite a bit of Final Fantasy Tactics and that's just what it sounds like, a very tactical turn based game. Not for me but some people really like that style of game so that's something to look into if it appeals to what you're looking for.

I also played a little bit of Final Fantasy 14 online and it was fun, although not the styles of MMO I personally prefer. But again it's all personal preference and if you like MMOs you should look it up because you might want to consider that instead of one of the single player games.

I could never get into 7/8 because of the graphics on the ps1 everything was so jagedy save hard to look at.

Yeah those are definitely from that time period where games were starting to get more modern but are still very dated by today's standards.

Well, even at the time it was bad compared to many games on SNES and N64. It was because of the graphics type that Sony chose to use.
