I agree with this

Tactics isn't too bad either
>>
>must plays
such a nebulous term

were it my recommendation, all of them are must plays, even if half of them suck ass, simply for the fact that it broadens your horizons and gives you just that much more experience with evaluating games

The only ones I'd say you wouldn't be remiss in skipping are the chocobo dungeon crawlers and the wii crystal chronicles games, as well as the MMOs if you already know you don't like MMOs.

Opinions vary wildly, but these are the ones I recommend:

FF1
FF6
FF7
FFX-2
Lightning Returns
Tactics

>overrated by Nintentoddlers

Quite the contrary, I pan it for starting the trend that is PlayStation era Final Fantasy cancer. Just system was GOAT, should have kept that for everything.

All of them. They're all good in their own unique way.

>inb4 I'm flamed to death for this opinion

>>331285607
they all have their own good points but to unequivocally label them all as "good" is appropriately going to get you flamed

If you have a psp. Dissidia 012, crisis core and type 0

Put 5 in must-play. FF5 was amazing. Don't care how exploitable the jobs are, you can choose other just as interesting jobs to spice shit up. Those ones were made specifically for babies who couldn't beat Exdeath without gill toss. Casual filters.
>>
>>331285417
this is the first time I 100% agree with an FF list

well done

>>331285946
job system is cool but isn't the best system in the series. Characters/story is also pretty bland and the OST mostly forgettable with the exception of some songs like big battle on the bridge

still a great experience, definitely not a must play though
>>
>>331284497
FFV and FFT are the only must plays. Most others vary widely in reception.

I personally like XII, but it has flaws and I can see why others might dislike it.
>>
I like them all but 2 and I haven't played 3. 13 was kind of weak. I still had some fun with it but I bought it cheaply and probably won't play it again anytime soon. I only played 4 a couple years ago and liked it but I think it's overrated a bit. I'm only saying this because people consider it the best when I think it's good but not the best. I personally like 5, 6, 7, 9, and 12 a lot and everything else is good too, even 8 and 10. Though 8 has some design flaws so it might be nostalgia. Also Tactics is great. I was hoping FF15 would have a darker story like tactics but I guess it won't. I hope it's like 9 at least where there's a mix of comedy and some dark moments.
>>
>>331285813
>le FF8 is shit maymay xD

When will this meme die? FF8 is a solid fucking game with lovable characters and fun gameplay. Junction system was fun to fuck around with, too, even if you could get OP.
>b-but the annoying edgy protagonist!
Squall is supposed to be edgy. No one takes his edginess seriously, anyways. They all make fun of how ridiculous he is, and he grows out of it eventually, too. At least to some extent.

Also it has the best soundtrack of the series, don't try to prove me wrong. Because you fucking can't. The Extreme is and will always be one of the best final boss themes of all time
>>
>>331286005

The OST is wonderful, especially the most emotional one, they are quite memorable. Even its battle theme was great.

I can't think of a better job system than in FF5's Maybe Bravely Default, as it added the brave and default system and some new jobs, but even that was mired down by a lack of atb.
>>
>>331286158
no memes here, ff8 is a mess of gameplay and story

only thing it has that's good is the OST. The fucking card game is more enjoyable than the main game

>lovable characters

oh I get it, you're being ironic
>>
Final Fantasy 3 and 13.
>>
I'd say VI, VII, and Tactics are the minimum.
Then play IV, V, and IX if you want more.
>>
>>331286005
V gave us Gilgamesh, the best Final Fantasy character of the 16-bit era.

IV, V, VI, VII are the best
The others are still good games but these did the best job balancing open-world with story (i.e. not hallway simulators)
>>
>>331284497
IV
VII
VIII
X-2
XIII
>>
>>331288146
it's one of these games where I look at it and after a billion years after the release I'm still not interested in it.

FF VIII looked far more interesting to me.
>>
Of the 3D ones I've only played 7 and want to try X next. After that, is it worth playing the Lightning trilogy?
>>
>>331284497
Every FF game is a must play exept VIII, the onlines and XIII, this last one being a must avoid.

With that said, III is more or less irrelevant because V and X-2 did their job systems A LOT better.
