Never played a final fantasy game. crazy?
 

Hi all. Even though i have played many games over by life, i have never played a Final Fantasy game.

Although i do like rpg and strategy games, its just never appealed to me and now that there are like 12 of them.

would it be possible to start playin 12 without worrying about what's happened in the previous 11?

I'd start with VII. One of the greatest games ever made.

I'd agree with playing 7, but add in 6/3 as well. With the exception of X and X-2, the games are not related though. So you can start wherever you like.

Yup, you'll miss out on some of the character/item names that get carried through the series, but it's no big deal.

I actually own VII and have never played it, my old roommate beat it though (I think). Maybe I'll go back and play it once I get back into XII (got stuck and didn't feel like using an FAQ)

I recently played FFVI as my first of the series. It's pretty sweet. I get the feeling I'm missing out on some references, but the story is very self-contained. I can't speak to the rest of the series, but I imagine they're all this way.

I've never played one either.... [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Play FF6, FF7, FF Tactics, and FF Adventure for the Game Boy if you can find it.

Final Fantasy is in general overrated.

FF7 is very good though.

Most Final Fantasies are boring I think, and easy to miss. Final Fantasy was good, Final Fantasy V was good, and Final Fantasy XII was good so far, to me. V is probably the best.

Final Fantasy I. Must play. The rest are wannabes.
