Final Fantasy, i have never played it.

How many Final Fantasy games are there in the series, and would it be stupid to start at one of the later games? Because i believe the earlier ones are on PS1 so im not going to be able to play them. I saw a trailer and it looks kick ass, what are the objectives of the game and how much fun is it? Im looking to widen my genres of gaming.

Thanks for all help and knowledge that is given.

They're not historically connected, you can start from any of them.

So the storylines do not carry on?

YES.

Thanks Red.

Do you have any other information that could help me? >.>

Don't stop moving on in the story.

As in, don't stall and train in the same spot, because the game will be easy.

Red, i only have an Xbox 360, is there only one Final Fantasy game on this console?

No, there isn't a Final Fantasy game on the 360. Final Fantasy XIII is coming, but only next year for you European/American people.

Man if there is, and you have never played Final Fantasy before then there are two options.

You either buy a ps1 with Final Fantasy 7 or 8 because they're arguably the best ones ever made.

Or..
You buy the one for 360.

That is all.

*cough* emulator *cough*

the "best ranking" in the series goes like this.

ff7
ff8
ff9
ffX
ffIV

i don't feel like writing them all out. I have beaten all of them and these are my preferences.
