Hey I've gotten into Kingdom Hearts (addicted love it) a while back and kinda want to get into Final Fantasy as well. Where does one start?
Luckily, each numbered title of Final Fantasy is a standalone– so you can start pretty much anywhere in the series and not miss a beat. Some of the games have sequels, but they’re numbered so that you know they’re related (e.g. FFX and FFX-2).
Here are some of my favorites:
Final Fantasy VII
Brooding soldier boy carries a giant sword, teams up with some friends to stop a beautiful murder man from dropping a space rock on the planet
Final Fantasy IX
Klepto monkey boy and his band of merry men try to kidnap a princess, get entangled in the political intrigue of a world at war
Final Fantasy X
Kid with a funny laugh and daddy issues goes on a world tour with a cute girl who can summon large monsters to help her defeat an even larger monster
Final Fantasy X-2
Aforementioned cute girl goes on a world tour with two other cute girls who use Sailor Moon transformations to beat people up on their quest to find her boyfriend and maybe save the world idk
Final Fantasy Type-0
Group of kids named after playing cards relentlessly tease a moogle, find time to save the world between class periods
Final Fantasy XV (Duh… hahahahaha)
Royal boy band on important diplomatic mission to unite two nations through marriage, takes constant detours to pet chocobos, snap pictures, and catch frogs
