7 is good. It's a classic and worth the title in my opinion. X is also good, but I don't know how good of a mobile game it is. I don't know how it runs, and it feels like you need to play it a few times to get the most of it. X has a better battle system to me, and you have a better idea of what you're supposed to be doing than 7, but it's a lot more linear as a result.
That said, 7 is like 10 bucks and X/X2 is like 30 right?
They are both great entry points, but X may test your cringe resistance.

Price wise they're pretty similar since you get two games with X, right?

And I've seen some cringe scenes in it but if its a good game and I'm playing it by myself I don't really mind.

What I really dont want to happen is to get stuck or bored at some point where I stop playing and dont pick up another one.

Having not really played them before I'm not sure if the more linear aspect would be a horrible thing to start with.

And I assume the game would run fine. The vita is pretty impressive overall for a handheld.

It's hard for me to say, does one setting interest you more than the other? How experienced are you with JRPGs? It's a weird thing to compare them since they're are very different.
X has a pretty complex character building set from what I remember, and 7 has a great skill system in the materia that allows loose party building. I remember liking 7 more, but I played X a while ago. I think 7 might be better just to have the experience with it, X isn't nearly as important to the genre in my opinion.

Well, I don't want to complain about graphics at all as they're not very important on a good game in this context, but I was sort of on the fence if I wanted to play more classic or modernish.

I've played a few JRPGs but not too many really in depth ones.
I do like customization when it comes to skills and party building though

Wait for World of FF. Get X/X-2 for PS4. FFVII is overrated shit, wait for remake.

Get EDF 2 for now.

They didn't get modernish until X-2, I think. X is still a turn based, random encounter, by the books JRPG. You should look up some reviews and see if they can explain some of the mechanics. One thing about the parties is that 7 doesn't have standard classes, while X does. In 7, your characters abilities are based around the materia you equip to them, which means any character can do anything. The flipside is the game is a breeze as long as you don't run away from every fight.
X has a thing called a Sphere Grid, which is a kind of skill tree for each character.
Another major difference is 7 using a modified ATB system from the SNES titles. X is classic turn based, where you have a list of who goes when. The ATB can act a little wonky, and the summons in 7 are pretty notorious for taking a while. One important thing to note when you play is that summons don't stop timers.
One of the major factors in whether you like it is the characters. FF7 is a bit generic, outside of a well executed twist in the middle. X has some more uniqueness to it, but it can be grating.
I'd say either go with your gut since they aren't super pricey, or look up Gamespot/IGN or whatever and try to go from there.

Thanks guys

I'll go with X/X-2 for now since I remember the ATB system and while I didn't dislike it, I'd rather go for a more turn based game to start with.

I'll defiantly look back for VII if all goes well though. Both are on my to-play list.
