    I have the PS One Classic on my Vita and I have the Gameboy Advance version as well. I know the GBA one is better but I'd rather have all my save files in one place.

    I couldn't stomach the GBA version because the music sound like trout. I'd much prefer the PSX version to it.

    The music isn't that much worse in the GBA version, IMO. And I'm the music snob here.

    I played IX before any other FF and it was my favourite game ever and it remains my favourite game ever. I think you can appreciate it just as much if you play it before others. Just gives you a reason to go back and replay it later and be like "Oh yeah, that's neat".

    Imma be honest, the call backs to other FF's didn't make the game any better or worse for me. They were just neat little things that the game would still have been just as good without.

    That's just my opinion though

    I would say I'm surprised at how FFIX is stomping this but, well, I'm not.

    As for when one should play FFIX, FFIX was my second Final Fantasy game and I still loved it. I've come to regard it as painfully overrated but it's still a good game and I don't think playing any of these other games first will in any way lessen your enjoyment of FFIX.

    Go in order. Its difficult to appreciate FFIII if you play later entries first, it just makes it feel antiquated, but I always appreciate watching the series evolution as you play through them in order.

    I would leave FF IV last because the DS version is the best version, though it's also the hardest.

    I'd recommand Final Fantasy VI first, but FFIV, FFV and FFIX are all worth playing too. I haven't played FFIII yet though.

    On second thought, I'll agree with Wolf that playing them in order is probably the best way to experience it, as you'll see how the series has progressed in an organic fashion

    You see, I was thinking that. However, I had such a rough time playing FFII and wasn't really enjoying it towards the end... I know that FFIII has had a similar level of criticism. I guess I'm kind of hoping that playing FFII & FFIII back-to-back won't destroy my love of the series!

    If you pick the Geomancer as your main spellcaster, you'll make the game substantially easier for you. Add to that a Viking with two shields to draw all physical attacks, and the entire game becomes cakewalk.

    It's a different kind of difficult. One that you can solve by strategizing instead of just mindless grinding. So if you plan out your jobs well, you'll be just fine. My last playthrough of III was surprisingly easy thanks to that party combination.

    II is no different from any other FF game. If you know what you're doing, it's a cakewalk.

    But that's also boring. It's why you shouldn't give away optimum job and equipment setups like that. Now FFIII will be boring, too.

    Tch, if you say so. REAL men beat FFIII with a team of Scholars.
