What order did you play the series in?

[Wolf Kanno]

We'll make this simple and stick to just the numbered entries, so what order did you play the series in first?

[Ayen]

VII, VIII, IX, V, VI, I, II, X, X-2, XI, XII, XIII.

I'm not 100% if I played I and II before X.

[Christmas]

VI, VII, VIII, IV, II, I, IX, X and X-2.

After which my puberty is over and I stopped playing games. :bigsmile:

For most of the time unless the urge comes and nothing can ease it. :bigsmile:

[Shiva95]

VI, IV, I, II, III, V, XIV (never finished), IX, VII, X (I'm currently doing it)

[Yellow_Magic]

VI, IV, V, X, VIII, VII, X-2, XII. I'm not sure how that happened either.

[Shauna]

I don't know. There was no order. xD

[Dat Matt]

Um.. I think

IX, X, X-2, I, II, III, VII, VIII, XIII, XIII-2, XII, XI, VI

Only numbered one left to play is V. Getting round to that at some point.

[Rez09]

1, 6, 4, 7, 5, 8, 9, 10, 3, 12, 2.

That's the order I completed them in, anyway. I tried 2 and 12 earlier, but I didn't finish them until much later.

[DarkBahamut]

Here's my timeline of experiencing, not necessarily beating the games. But all the games my brother beat, I came back to.

Saw FFVII beaten by my brother, then I played it.
Same order next with FFVIII.
Saw my brother beat FFIX.
Saw my brother beat FFX.
I then beat FFX.
My brother and I then together beat FFXII.
I then beat Crisis Core.

My brother came back from college and we demolished and almost mastered FFXIII together in 5 days, which was an impressive feat because it was during Ramadan and double day football practices for me and he was studying for his medical license exams.

After a two day break, I was on the PS Store and saw FF Tactics and was like, "Bro, how come no one shows this one love?" And he was like, "Please....This game is one of the best FFs and is amazing."
He played it in front of me once to see how the game works, I got hooked on and beat the game.

(Sidetrack: I also played Xenogears for my first time right after this. It was a great summer.)

Then I decided to beat FFIX, because I never gave it respect before.
And I just started FFVI this month (Just beat Atma Weapon up at Kefka's Tower :jess:)

[Karifean]

VII
X
X-2
XII
VIII
X-2 International
IX
XIII
VI
XIII-2
V
IV
X/X-2 HD
XII International

A little over the place, but it worked out. I played a few hours of LR inbetween IV and X/X-2 HD, but haven't continued so far.

[LunarWeaver]

"That sword is huge. I think I kinda have a crush on this weird little Lego person. I'm an odd child."
"Robin Williams turned out to be kind of an asshole in this."
"Damn, I can't let people know this cheesy and obvious ending totally worked for me."
"Where's the world map? I'm just running down a tube. I better keep running down it so I can bitch online in an informed manner."
"Damn, I can't let people know this cheesy and horrible j-pop song is getting downloaded and listened to voluntarily."
"If it makes Roto shut the hell up, I will play the one with Kefka already."
"Alright, how many people are going to die? I'm moving on to the next one."
"Ha! Butz! But no, this random encounter rate is really getting to me. I'm quitting."

"My boner for such a fully realized Ivalice should really be bigger than this. I wonder what's wrong?"
"Vanille turned out to be kind of an asshole in this."
"Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump! Time warp. Jump, jump, jump, jump!"

[Colonel Angus]

I don't know. There was no order. xD
Apparently, you're some octopus woman who can play multiple games @ once!

To answer the thread: I, IV, Mystic Quest, VI, VII, VIII, V, IX, Tactics, II, X, X-2, XII, III, Tactics Advance

[Vyk]

I played the American-released main games in order. I, IV, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, and XII. I have not beaten the last two as they were ruined by main characters who force me to lose interest. X is also hampered by a horribly written story with annoying non-main characters. Have no tried X-2 or XIII (any)

I think I played Tactics after VII, but not positive if it was before VIII. I played Crystal Chronicles when it first came out, whenever that was. And then immediately swore off that entire side-series

Randomly tried V and Mystic Quest, but to little avail. I emulated V at some point long ago, and then got the Anthology release. Had trouble getting invested both times

And Tactics Advance annoyed me very early in the game as well

[VeloZer0]

Hm.... a little trip down memory lane.

PC Versions:
FF7

FF6
FF5
FF4

Purchase of PS2
FF10

[botnslave]

FF7, tactics, 8, 9, 10, 10-2, 11, ffta, 12 and A2, then revenant wings, 13, and very little of 13-2.

I've dabbled a bit with 1-6 over the years but haven't devoted enough time to them yet.

[Edge7]

In order of when I first played them, not when I beat them.

X, IV, X-2, VII, VIII, VI, XII, IX, V, XIII.

I think that was the order (yeah, I was all over the place)

[Loony BoB]

1. VII
2. VIII
3. I, II, III, IV, V, VI
4. X
5. XII
6. XI
7. XIII
8. XIV
9. IX

As for completing...

1. VII
2. VIII
3. X
4. XII
5. XIII
6. V
7. I
8. VI
9. II
10. IX

Next: IV, then III.

[metagloria]

I missed the SNES era, so I played them in this order...

I
(9-year gap)
VII
Anthology (think I started V, got stuck, then played VI, then went back and figured out V)
VIII
IX
Origins?
X
Chronicles (can't remember where this came in, honestly - I probably got it whenever it came out)
X-2
...etc. as they have been released from that point forward

[arenzi]

VIII, VII, IX, X, X-2, VI, V, IV, I, II, XII, III, XI, XIII, XIII-2. It was kind of a weird order.
