For sake of simplicity of battle system I recommend this order:7, 1, 6, 4, 9, 10, 2, 3, 5, 8. For an easy game: 7, 6, 8, 10, 1, 2, 5, 9, 4 ( ihaven't beaten all of 3 yet so I can't speak for this one yet. If ya want reasons, ask! Oh yeah, and for story/characters: 6, 9, 10, 7, 8, 4, 5, 1, 2, (can't judge 3 yet). btw 1 is very addictive, just don't expect too much story (to it's credit, it was a great story at the time)
