So you have a friend named Jordan who likes to punch you in the kidneys. You've tried talking to him about it but he just thinks it's funny and you're starting to get frustrated at this point. More importantly though, Jordan likes video games and, knowing you are a Final Fantasy fan, asks you for a recommendation. Jordan hasn't played any FF games before, or even any RPG's.

So you have two choices. You can recommend a game you think will get him hooked in the series without being too difficult for an RPG newbie like himself, or you can recommend a terrible intro game as revenge for the kidney punching.

What would your choice be for best beginner FF and which would your choice be for the worst beginner FF?
