A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I played it on my phone which nowadays is the port of the pixel remaster. I loved it and I thought it was great! I definitely felt a little overpowered due to not fleeing at all. I would recommend checking it out, I got just under 28 hours of playtime on my first run.

Like others have said, there's no reason to play in order, but to be more specific:

  • If you ask someone what their favourite FF is, 90% of people will answer something between 6 and 10, so you should probably start with one in that range.

  • 1 is probably not worth playing at all, it hardly even has a story and is very simple.

  • 2 is better, but I would say 3 is where it really starts to get good.

  • 4 and 5 are also very liked and popular.

  • 12 doesn't have the best story, but it's good and it has a lot of people's favourite combat system.

  • 13 isn't bad, but a lot of people didn't enjoy it. I hardly hear people talk about it nowadays, but maybe that's just me.

  • 15 is probably more liked than 13 but it also gets a lot of criticism. It's quite modern, though, so it's probably one of the easiest to get into for most people.

  • 11 and 14 are MMOs. If you like MMOs, you should probably choose 14 because 11 is quite old and doesn't have a lot of players.


EDIT: Forgot to mention 16 because it just came out, but from what I hear a lot of people like it, so it may be a good entry point, although it's console exclusive.
