And I honestly know nothing about this game. I think more than any other FF game it falls in the cracks and no one talks about it.

FFI - The original
FFII - Supposedly has a horrible fight mechanic
FFIV - One of the most well known
FFV - Faris and Buttz
FFVI - One of the most well known

And from there every game has been played and talked about to death.

Should I play this game? Am I missing out on anything really? If I did play it what would be the best version?
