hi,

i've never played a ff game since mystic quest on SNES so i'd like to try one now. But I'm not sure which on i should get. playing both games isn't possible for me since they are too time consuming.

So which game would you recommend and why? Generally i'm not into RPG playing so is it even worth buying a FF game?

I guess X, but XII's combat system is so much better.

X and X-2 are definately the more traditional FF games and will be somewhat closer to what you remember. FF12 is beautiful and cool and everything but it uses a very different combat engine. And the story is all done with voice acting. So I think you should go with x and x-2 dude.

Sqaure-enix is now knee deep in creating and fleshing out this specific FF environment/world called Ivalice. I think there is a difference between normal FF games and Ivalice related games. Some of the Ivalice games are FF:Tactics, FF:T advanced, Chrystal Chronicles, FF12. I think you should be aware of that if you have had an absense.

actually both games are good for newcomers as even the advanced players needed to get used to the new battle system in FFXII.

since you are new to the series i recommend you play ffx first. that way you will enjoy ffxii a lot more, because believe me after playing ffx you will want to play it.

I think you should go with FFX. I say this because it is generally more forgiving to new comers--AND it happens to be very cheap. So if you hate it, at least you didn't spend as much on it as FFXII.

Yeah picking up a GH version of FFX will set you back $20 or less. Go with FFX though. I personally loved them both but FFX may be a little easier for people without any recent RPG experience.

FF X is a classical and maybe the best in the whole serie.
But I hope you buy them both.
So, deep from my game heart, buckle your seatbelt and become a realHardCore-Gamer an play 'em both...

between FFX, FFX-2, and FFXII

If you want a more dramatic storyline get X

if you want a better combat System get XII

Only get X-2 IF you beat X otherwise its pretty pointlees

FFX is a lot better game, its easier on a new RPG gamer. The story is a lot better, and the characters seem much better fleshed out then FFXII. FFXII never seems to go anywhere, the characters just aren't as interesting as those in FFX. The game play in FFXII was just frustrating, as I didn't feel like I had as much control as I did in the previous FF games. Of course, I have been a big fan of the series since FF1 came out on the NES. So, maybe its just not clicking for me. Still, FFXII is worth picking up. Shoot, even FF9 was worth picking up if you could ignore the Chocobo dig game and the dancing rats. hehe. There really isn't a bad Final Fantasy game......., well except for FFO. Thats the ultimate in frustration!
