    VI is pretty easy. Although a beginner might not know all the abusable tricks in the game, so..

    VII isn't too hard at all. Maybe get him on that.

    VIII's system might overwhelm a beginning player, hold off on that until later.

    IX is simple enough, and enjoyable. And it's the perfect FF experience. I'd definitely recommend it.

    X may also confuse, but not as much as VIII.

    Overall, I'd recommend IX for the beginning player, a perfect choice. If not that, then probably VII. (Unless they complain about graphics or some other foolish thing...)

    I don't know about 'hard core', but I can tell you IX is a great choice for a new player. Especially if he'll play all the games, not just the newer titles. Since IX isn't too difficult, and has the perfect example of a FF story/atmosphere. And maybe he'll get into the classics, luckily.

    FFI then FFII then FFIII and so on (PS releases). That way he'll have the full FF experience. Then when he's played them all, he can say which is best! I bet he'll say nine. But I think it's best to start on FFI and then work up, that way he's not a stupid 1 game fan.

    I'd say IX. It's simple to understand, and is pretty easy.

    I'd say IX too.Out of the FFs I played,IX has the most simple equipping system,therefore less confusing.Then you should progress to VII which is more similar to IX and so on.(I dunno about I-VI)

    I would start off with IV. The game is short and the story is easy to understand, and then move on to VI

    Vaan - "Hey, you!"
    Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
    Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
    Fran - "....We could help...."
    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

    The only problem with playing FFIX first is you'll miss out on all the references to the other FF's the game has.
