I've played all of 1-6 through to completion, most of 9, some of 12, all of 13 but not its sequels, and I've sunk a frankly embarrassing number of hours into 14

I like Final Fantasy

e: oh also all three tactics games

I liked what I played of 9. I also liked Mystic Quest but I don't know many other people that share that opinion.

Also it’s not a date in my case but I’m a lonely lovely person IRL with no friends (seriously) but I made a friend over Christmas at some temporary work I do, and on Monday I’m going to meet her and another friend so I’m going to have a nice day out with people who like me, so that’s progress towards me having a good year for maybe the first time ever rather than a year of loneliness and self-loathing so I’m happy for this :)

Just play mystic quest, then 6. If you want to journey into the 3D ones, probably 9, then 7. 10 has good combat but is the first game where square really started to go off the rails

Seven has aged like fried rear end and the translation is virtually impenetrable, maybe this will become true again when the remake comes out but as-is this is a pretty wrong statement

9's pretty good tho

yeah, and there's something nice about playing a jrpg that is short and somewhat lighthearted compared with the usual melodrama associated with the genre

i mean i usually go to smrpg for that, but i play mystic quest over a weekend every couple years and have a time with it

Kinda depends on what you like. 7 is pretty good. 6 is good if you like 2d jrpgs. I like 10 and 12, but I might be in the minority?

i love ff7 but it is not a good game to come into the series in 2018, sorry

6 is prolly the best intro to final fantasy

i loving hated 10 almost as much as 8, in fact i did not even finish 10 (i did push through to the end of 8 out of a false hope that it'd get better)

Bro I don't think anyone's hopeless and I'm really happy that you're starting this year off really well. I think we are all able to bond with other like-minded people as long as we're positive and know how to listen to each other and give space/take criticism when needed. Even if poo poo doesn't work out, just treat it as experience for "okay well that didn't work, what can I learn from this and correct it in the future?" cause every success, big or small are borne from failure. What separates the failures and successes are sticking to it and not letting it consume and destroy you. I think law of attraction is super real and honestly since I started running and getting a ton of self confidence and dating I've been attracting people like crazy. The most important life advice I give to anyone is that anything can happen at any time and if you just keep going and don't give up (quitter cynics are losers IMO) then things will get better. Your post def made me smile and made this day of hype even a little bit better so consider me in your corner in hoping that 2018 will be the best year of your life my man. Your post kinda got to me and I'm just firing from the hip here so hopefully this word salad has some value to it, haha:cheers:

Yeah IDK how well 6 has aged tho. 7 does kinda look like a turd but the story is nice and the systems are fun and the characters aren't terrible.

I think 12 is a good into to the series personally but people would probably jump down my throat about that.

Edit: To be clear I'm not sure lots of people want to play 2d jrpgs in 2018 tyool

Yeah I'd say 6 or 9 are the best intro, 5's also good if you like customization but I suppose it's not super indicative of the rest of the series for the most part.

@FF chat earlier: Like FF13-3 the best, unironically. FF5 and FFT are good too but basically anything that isn't FFX-2 and involves dress up is the best.
