Never played a final fantasy game. crazy?

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)

IMO II(IV), VII, IX and Tactics are the best, also liked III(VI), V, and X a lot. (didn't like I or VIII, haven't played the rest).

I think they all have their own merits, even VIII. I liked the card game a lot in that one. III(VI) is my favorite, hands down, but VII is certainly great, IX was a nice return to the originals, and XII was a lot of fun with the ATB system.
