I have one question about this game... Should I play from the first one, so I can understand the story behind it?
Just want to know befor I try and buy any of them.

Nope, as many have said before me, all are different games, only thing that's the same is the title.
And for my recommendations, can't go wrong with starting at X or VII.

I see, so most of the story doesn't go in order... o.k. so, what number do you recomend for some one just starting the seiries?
And thank you, Peduncle, I will try and get that one... I think a freind of mine ownes a copy of it.

I started out on VII and apparently they don't have a connecting story... you probably won't understand what SOLDIER is or what Sephiroth did (I certainly don't, but I'm only 4 hours into it) but you'll get the basics. I recommend having a friend who is already a fan of the series help talk you through it so you'll understand and if you get stuck on a part they can help you.
It's not a case of the story has no order, they are all different stories. They have different worlds, characters, rules, battle systems and mythology. Try not to think of them as Final Fantasy games, think of them as different games that are made under the same "brand".Valdric_gundam said:
I highly recommend that you stay AWAY from FFV. I tried to play it twice, and both times I got bored and never finished it. VII and VIII are my two favorites, so I suggest them. Of course, if you don't have PSN, you may have a hard time tracking those down. Hard disk copies of VII tend to cost a lot now.
I recommend X. Story is good and it's arguably the hardest one to get lost in if you're new to these types of games.
I'd recommend playing IX. However, because it's the best all the others will pale in comparison before its near perfection.
I'm going to second this opinion.Jaranja said:
Final Fantasy VII is -- typically -- only enjoyed for it's nostalgia.
Anything after that is a better place to start.
just to brag a bit, i got a perfect copy of ff7 with zero scratches and a perfect case =] found it at a local store for 25 bucks a year and a half ago..i nearly had a heart attack getting that thing off the shelf as i couldn't believe it was truly there.Sniper Team 4 said:
OT: yeah NONE of the main number games are connected in any way shape or form, they are all different games completely so dont worry about any order
personally..
id recommend 7,9,10,12 as a start
then if you figure out you like those, i'd move on to 6,8,13 and any of the earlier ones if you can find em
I'd definitely recommend X as a starting point - the most user friendly FF game I've played.
The battle system is a much simplified version of the previous ones and there are loads of tutorials and tips throughout. Some of the earlier ones just expect you to know how various items and abilities work.
The story is also one of my favourites and the game as a whole feels similar enough to the others to be a good stepping stone to the more complicated ones.
