Now most people on this site will have most likely played all of these spin-offs of FF VII. With the exception of Before Crisis. Now if you think of this, we all know the chronological order of these games and books bu what if someone hasn't played any of them. Think of how you experienced it, but what if someone was to play them in an odd number? What would be more satisfyng? Say someone first plays CC VII, then Advent children, then the Original VII. Or even say some people start with the novels or something.

Anyway, this is the first time posting something like this so go easy one me, if this is a dumb idea, i'll contently delete the thread.

What I'm going to ask is what order have you experienced the FF VII Compilation
and what would you recommend to someone who wants to start fresh into VII.

My Order of Experience - Original VII, AC+C, CC, OTWTAS + The Maiden, DoC, LO, DoC LE, BC.

Now it's just interesting to find things out different ways. How odd would it have been is someone played them all in chronological order. What order would you tell a person to play them all in? Mine would be...

Original Final Fantasy VII
Crisis Core
On The Way To a Smile novels
The Maiden
Advent Children+Complete
Last Order
Dirge of Cerberus+Lost Episode
Before Crisis ( You can watch the movie version on youtube just to get the story)

Let's see what you think.
