    I've never played a Final Fantasy game... Well I rented one on the SNES when I was 8 or 9 and couldn't make heads or tails of it. Now that I finished Persona 4 Golden this week (woooooooooooooooo!) I'm in the market for a jrpg. I've got a ps4 and a vita any suggestions for which Final Fantasy I should play?

    FFX HD is a good place to start.

    Is that on vita? Because that seems to be the only way I can get through jrpgs. Also, thanks for the suggestions!

    i won't lie dude everyone will probably give you a different answer so i'd say just grab one at random, probably

    not 11 or 14 tho

    those are mobas

    also not 13, 13-2, or 13-3

    13 and 13-2 are fine

    13-3 is absolutely a game that was made

    Is it cross buy or cross save because that would be amazing.

    i think cross save, but definitely NOT cross-buy

    I'd recommend FF4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, and don't get anything later than those because everyone who says they're worth playing is lying to make you waste your time and money :rotate:

    Hmm I'll have to decide where to play it then because I probably won't buy it twice. Any benefits to the different versions?

    You should check out Final Fantasy X/X-2 for your PS4

    the feature is that sony does not like backwards compatability

    If you don't want people to waste time and money then why did you include 8 in that?

    4 is a great way to get introduced to the series in its classic bent, and I think the 2D (not the 3D) remake is available on PSP/Vita? I don't know how that works.

    10 is a fun game to play but I have too many reservations to recommend it as someone's first, coming to the series as a grown-ass adult

    5 is maybe the perfect starting final fantasy, assuming you can enjoy how much of a classic jrpg it is.

    It has a really well balanced turn based combat system distilled to its absolute essense. No real ridiculous frills.

    Thematically, its story touches on all the biggest aspects of the series and has a decent story with solid characters. It accomplishes this without being overblown. It's a simple, fun story that has good pacing.

    6 has a better story, and is just a better game, but isn't as down to earth and doesn't have quite as good pacing.

    Chocobos are the couriers.

    Ultima Weapon is the map boss that gives your team a huge buff if you kill it

    For how silly FF5 is most of the time it had some surprisingly emotional moments.

    Original is the best starting point.

    Even if it didn't have Kefka, the best villain in the series.

    Changing my answer to 'play Phantasy Star IV' so you can see how obviously FF VII ripped it off once you play that.

    Hmm maybe I'll go with V first. X sounds really cool but maybe I want a slightly cheaper entry point.

  • Moth 13Moth 13 Registered User regular

    Wait, I'd suggest against getting the ps1 version of V. The dialogue is a lot of the charm and you'd want the gba/ios version for the re-translated script.

    Yeah the PS1 version of 5 is kind of bad for a lot of reasons.

    Buggy, bad translation (ESPECIALLY Faris, good lord), long load times.

    All of Square's ports to the PS1 were kind of shoddy.

    Looks like X it is. I'll get it in ps4 and just remote play if I need to. Thanks for all the suggestions!
