If you wanted to introduce FF to someone with no experience with the series, what game would you start with?

FF 15 since it's the only one that plays like it's not 10 years old

Or an MMO

It's a great MMO that really improved after a very rocky start. The Fall and Rise of Eorzea is a good video series about how bad it was before A Realm Reborn. Seriously, go find a picture of one of the area maps before the reboot and marvel at its endless grid of identical boxes.

When I played, I did so on the PS4 with a controller. Playing a Monk class that way was very fun and more engaging than I would have though given my experience with other MMOs. I mean, it's still repetitive and you're going to be using the same set of skills over and over and over again, but I could easily lose myself in the game for hours doing Leves or quests. I got burnt out in the series of fetch quests that buffer the story between the end of ARR and the first expansion.

Yeah, I'm fortunate to not have played during 1.0. I picked up ARR in the Humle Bundle and bought HW once I hit 50

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


The last good video game was River City Ransom. Not the new one, the NES game. Every game released thereafter was a disappointment in comparison.

Tales of Berseria came out last month and it's probably going to end up in my top 5 JRPG's of all time if it doesn't gently caress up the ending.

I finally got around to this this year and it's v good, if a bit short. I missed a ton of the optional content on my first playthrough (like all of Cainhurst) I think though.
