New to FF series. Which FF should I start

[playaGAW]

7 doesn't suck but it is a little overated. I really think the best idea would be start off with two FF games. Buy FF Anthology, FF Chronicles, or FF Origins that way you can get a feel to the rest of the series. All those come with two Final Fantasy games so you can get a feel for the rest of the series then play those. If you don't want to do that start with 8 or 9.
