I never played any Final fantasy games, can I start with the newest verison?

I'm soon getting a ps3 and was looking for some fun games. The final fantasy games looks like a game I would really enjoy, but there is 13 of them. If I buy Final Fantasy XIII will I be lost in the storyline? Or should I pick up an older version of the game from the ps3 store and if so which one? Also which ones are the best? Thanks in advance :D|||Yes, you can get the most recent one if you want. If you bought Final Fantasy XIII, you would not be lost, as almost every game has a different world and storyline.


In my personal opinion, Final Fantasies V, VII, X, and XII are the best.|||as everyone has said, each final fantasy with a number has its own story, characters, slightly different gameplay and so on. only a few of them actually have sequels, like number 10 has a sequel, number 7 has a sequel movie, a prequel game,a spinoff game and an anime series (because its the most popular one, annoying really).





you can play final fantasy 13 and be completely fine.





if you enjoy 13, i would also suggest Final Fantasy 7, 8, 6(known in the US as 3), and 10.|||Yes you can start at any point in the Final Fantasy universe. I've played every single one since FF1 and only 2 have a considering story and that is 10 and 10-2 for PS2. There are characters and jokes that span the whole series but it's a small part of the game.|||Final fantasy series are not a continuous series of one story... Each game is their own story. So if you started at 13, no big deal.





But just a word of caution. 13 is pretty complex game. There is a lot to take in.


Out of all the ones that are available in the store, to start out, i would probably suggest buying final fantasy 9...





once you are done with that, i would go to 7, then maybe 8. and then eventually to 13...





7 by far was the best game in the series. followed closely by 10.





So take your pick. They are all are amazing games in their own rights.|||The Final Fantasy games all have different stories, so it wouldn't matter which order you went in. However, don't be discouraged if 13 lets you down. There are some classic Final Fantasies, like 10 and 7. I recommend you play those before 13, just in case you lose hope in Final Fantasy altogether xD|||Final Fantasy 14 releases on Sept 30 for the PC, so you could try that out. If you want for the PS3 then any of the latest available versions are great starting points.|||you'll be fine. each FF has their own unique story, world, characters and all that. Only thing that remains the same is the gameplay and the monsters and magic skill names.|||yeah every game has a new story. my brothers favorite is number 7. it only came out for ps1.





want to answer mine ?

FFX and FFX-2 (part 2).





FFXIII is good. So is FFXII and FFX.





Hope I helped. =)
