Well, Square made the game for beginners, and in that case, it's a great way to teach them the basics of RPGs (and Final Fantasy). I think I've heard that they intended to release it before FFIV, in order to get people interested, but instead it was released afterwards, wich meant it flopped.

But my suggestion would actually be, play FFMQ BEFORE the other games. If you're a newbie, that is...
Indeed, but I actually rather enjoyed FFMQ alot more than FFX, and FF8.

It really truly is a great game even if you are a expert RPG player, you just gotta be in the mood for it, besides, who DOESN'T like FFMQ's boss and battle music?
