I've been playing 3, and it's my first one ever. Pretty good.

Does every numbered FF game feature random battles? While I had a blast with FF6, I got to the point where I don't think I can endure them again. I considered getting the revamped FF3 for the DS, but random battles swayed me in another direction. But I'm thinking of getting a new PS2 and want to know what to expect.

XII does not have random battles, the rest do (except XI, which is a MMORPG).

To like RPGs and not have played a single FF is weird.

FF 3 and 7 are awesome as others have said.

What's the deal with Final Fantasy?

It's called FINAL Fantasy, but they come out with a new one every few years! http://www.seowebworks.com/tickets/c...feld/15989.jpg

If you want to try the series, play X. It still looks good and is more straightforward than XII. But there's nothing all that essential about these games; they are just standard random-battle RPGs with better-than-average stories, art design, and music.

Someone likes RPG's, but hasn't played FF? How is that even possible really?

They aren't connected. Pick up 3 and 7 for sure.

Do me a favor and get FF Tactics if you can find it...you won't regret it.

Random battles do suck. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] (vs awesome storyline + char creation + leveling system) Chrono Trigger FTWaments.

I'm in the same boat as OP -- I just don't think I ever owned a console that had those games since I didn't have a PS1 or PS2.

I've always planned to get around to playing them though, since you can a lot of 'em for GBA/DS now.
