Which Final Fantasy would you recommend to someone who never played them?

One of my coworkers in their mid-20s mentioned they had never played any of the Final Fantasy games but was interested after seeing Clair Obscur.

I recommended Final Fantasy X. My reasoning is that the story is very approachable and fun, it’s not a pixel game which could be a deal breaker for someone who didn’t grow up with them, and then they could play Final Fantasy X-2 which is objectively the best game ever.

In hindsight I could’ve also recommended FF7 Remake too, but I like my pick.

i haven't played a ff in 22 years so idk if i'm qualified to speak here but i get the feeling '96-'01 zoomers would be into VIII entirely on vibes

That makes sense because 8 fucking rules

ff14. basically an anthology remix of the previous series (but also an MMO)

free trial up to level 70 with the first two expansions and unlimited playtime too so, y'know, free
