Whitch should I play?

[L8_]

Hi.
I got Final Fantasy X this cristmas and i liked it alot! And now I found FF VII and FF VIII cheap.

So my questition is:
Whitch one should I play first? I have played FF X for a while and don´t know if I should finish it befor i play VII and VIII? Or play them in the correct order? Or is there any other I should by first?

thnx

Find Anthologies and Play FFVI and V (or if you are European, FFIV and V.) But, sadly, I would recommend FFVII. I didn't like either FFVII or FFVIII, but I don't like the Junction System in FFVIII. The story was great though. But I still recommend you getting Final Fantasy Anthologies. Should be really cheap.

And no, you don't need to play them in order. They aren't story related to each other. Like how FFVII is futuristic while FFIX is Medieval.

I would suggest completing X and try to get IX, but out of your options, I'd go for VII. I can't stand the stories in either VII or VIII, but I think VII is better than VIII based on gameplay. There is also no need to play them in numerical order, they're not connected in anything other than concepts and creatures (ie, Chocobos).

Ok thnx.
I guess i will finish X and then play VII and VIII. Then I'll look for others.

It makes no difference at all what order you play them in. Just play whichever you feel like next.

Just make sure to finish FFX first. I dont know about you but I hate it when I leave a game unfinished and then head back to it later not knowing whats going on and having to check up on it on the web which is a drag...

It's a good idea to finish the one you're playing first, yeah. Of VII and VIII, VII is more traditional so it'd probably be a good next step. I don't like that game, though.

[Kanshisha]

hehe play X first and if your stuck somewhere play either VII or VIII

[silentenigma]

Just don't play FFX-2, ever. It ruins FFX just like chilli sause ruins ice cream.

I would recommend FFVI. please don't forget FFVI.

[Scream1008]

Definitely part VII.

[rubah]

Play 8 first after X so you aren't quite *as* shocked by 7's graphics 8)

Okay... so you guys think VII is better than VIII? Then I'll play VIII first^^ (to save the best one XD)

[Roto13]

Oh, VIII is definitely better than VII.

[Psychotic]

Yeah, I think VII is much better than VIII, so if I wanted to save the best one 'til last, I would play VIII first. Maybe you'll think differently and find VIII to be better though!

[L8_]

Hard to know that now XD But moast of you say VII... btw, how much of the game have I played? I just killed that big sinspawn and enterd the tempel of Djose.

[Psychotic]

You've still got a long road ahead of you. Keep it up. ;)

It might not be a popular recommendation, but Final Fantasy I is a classic and definitely worth a play if you haven't already. You can get DoS for GBA or Origins for PSX.

Beat X first. Then with your options I'd play FFVII. If you don't mind buying new stuff get FFIX, FFXII, FFIII, or any of the FF Advance games (Dawn Of Souls (I and II), IV and V are out now, VI coming later).

[L8_]

Yeah, it would be cool to play it on gba. How about the one on ds? (III I guess) is it nice? anyway, I'll look for other games after VII and VIII.

[silentenigma]

Dont forget FFVI!!!!!

[Goldenboko]

I say if your going to try the originals (Like everyone should) you should play FFIX, before them, so when your characters can't do 9 billion damage it doesn't come as a huge shock or the fact that you can't just tap the X button, and you need to level up.

I'd suggest completing X before moving on to another one of the games. Next I'd play VII, because personally I'm not a big fan of VIII! :jess:

[Rocket Edge]

Go with VIII defionitely imo.
