I had a thread on KTT1 asking about which FF games I should start with, just continuing it here. So far I’ve only played X and X-2. Currently playing XV and have XII and XIII downloaded.

Which one should I play after XV? I really prefer turn based combat like X had if that means anything.

V ---> VI. Then if you want play the other 2D games or if you want to play 3D ones play FVII
pd: Final Fantasy game style change a lot more between games than most of the big JRPG series that's why there is no 'best' FF it depends a lot on your taste
pd: If you like MMO's try FFXIV

Which ones are most similar to the gameplay and combat system of X?

6,7,8 and 9. in the order.

Play FF7, 8 and 9

6 as well if you can tolerate 2D graphics

Ok I’ll probably go 9 after I’m done with XV

Then after 9 ima go 8, then 12

xii and tactics

Yeah these two are dope also

if u plan to play all of em anyways start with 4 and move up from there

If you really bout it a lot of the final fantasy’s are on your App Store.

Just cop those first and beat them quick then move on to the console ones

Can someone list all the ones that have a more traditional turn based combat

I’d play 6 or 7 next.

At least try out everything from 4-12 for a good overview of the series

Everything before that is a bit rough and everything after is considered pretty mediocre by most fans

turn based:
1, 2, 3, 10

ATB Turn Based
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Thank you. What do 12 and 13 have?

They quick to beat?

12 is similar to vagrant story combat. It’s a bit strange, basically you encounter enemies in the overworld by locking onto them and then it transitions into something akin to turn based

13 is has turn based elements but the actions go in rapid sequence and fights take place in the overworld

finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Battle_system

this probably explains it better than I can, s*** got pretty crazy after FFX

Interesting thank u for this

just know final fantasy XIII is underrated

9 and 6 are GOAT

Play 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 they are all great games

Dont wait for FF7 Remake to experience 7 because its going to be totaly different and also extremely more expensive lol

If u wanna play all the games why not just start from 1

I want to play the better ones first
