Best to start with.

Final Fantasy XI or Final Fantasy XII.

Throw her directly into the fire and watch her rip her hair out in frustration. And then laugh maniacially at her pain.

Or be nice and give her Final Fantasy IX. She might think the monkey man is cute.

I thought ff8 was a nice transition from the ps2 graphics. I mean it was surprising at first, but your jaw can't really drop at ff9's graphics until you've played the other playstation games first.

[Dell]

FFVII, FFIX or FFVI.

I'd probably start with FFVI then FFVII. VI and VII have some much thing in common, but VI resembles old school (Nerds in Paradise :laugh, while VII resembles new generation (The Quickening). I'm sure she have no problem playing other FF, she'll probably hate FFX, which I HATE TOO!!!!

Levia, DO NOT START HER ON FFVIII. I swear if you do...

But yeah, I'd say IX is a good starting point. I think starting someone off on super graphics and voice acting will spoil them for the earlier games. They'll come to expect that, and it might deter from their enjoyment of great games like IX and VI. So yeah. I don't think you should start her off on X. VII is a good place to start too, I think.

PS. Levia has a girlfriend?? Awww! ^_^

Jeremy makes sense. IX is the best game in the series, hands down, in my opinion. X, however, is an excellent game and it's far easier for someone new to the series to get into. X, then IX, then she'll be hooked.

And yeah, do NOT start her out with FFVIII. Despite the fact that it's made out of awesome, it's either hit or miss with most people. There's a good chance it'll alienate her from the series.

Edit: Whatever you do, don't start her out with FFII.

FFIV, it's accessable, it's got romance, and it doesn'y have many menus to seperate you from the game. Honestly, start her off with the ealier games. If you start her off with Nomura's crap she'll never be able to really appreciate this series. I know too many people who started off on FFVII and FFX and refuse to play any of the earlier games cause they look too dated and they need some massive hollywood cutscene every five minutes in order to keep them entertain.

Please be kind to her and start her on FFIV and just progress through the series chronologically. She deserves to be loved the right way If you have to start on recent game, I will concede to FFIX since it was the only good game on the PS1. Besides, do you want to listen to her constantly fawning over Cloud, Squall, Sephiroth, and Tidus?

FF4 is simple, a good game and overall a very good one to start with but i prefer FF9 because i'd say its better.

FF4 has abou 20-25 hours of gameplay and is easy to follow so i guess FF4 would be a very good one.

FFV would also be good to start of with but it might be a bit hard if the players new to the job system.

FF9 is easy enough and is possibly my favourite FF and i've always thought of it as a good fun game which can be played by anyone.
