Final Fantasy is a name gamers know well (despite their opinion of the series itself.) Thanks to the structure of Final Fantasy, it's a series that can attract a lot of people--gamers and non-gamers a like. The gameplay is a style that doesn't take much effort, the stories are usually engaging, the characters interesting and relatable.
If you were to introduce someon to the series, what game would you have them game? What game, to you, captures the essence of the Final Fantasy franchise?
For me, I'd say FFVII, despite my favourite of the series be FFIX. There's so much to do, and the game is MASSIVE. With hidden optional characters, tons of sidequests, tons of hidden areas, lots of optional bosses, mini-games...there's plenty to keep someone involved and wanting to invest more time.
The game has a lot of humour, and a really interesting twisty story despite its flaws. The materia system is fun, as is the satsifactopn of getting a new limit break!
FFVII was the first FF game I played, and made me a life-long fan. I feel if I had friends play this, they'd enjoy it just as much, despite old graphics.
