What Final Fantasy game should i start with?

Ok I want to get into the Final Fantasy series/saga/chronicals. Caue there are like 1 million 57 games out for the same title. I want to learn the story and everythig but i dont want to play the very first final fantasy cause its in the old bit form. Will someone tell me what game i can start with and still get the story.What Final Fantasy game should i start with?If you have a PS2 the I'd recommend starting with the crowd favorite: FF VII for the PS1, then moving on to FF X for PS2. Other good ones are FF XII and I really liked VIII though it isn't as popular.What Final Fantasy game should i start with?
Final Fantasy XIII is one of the greatest Final Fantasy's out there. The story is surpassed by none, and the battle system is the most fun of any that I have played. It is fast paced like most other games these days and keeps you on your toes. The music is beautiful and the graphics even more so. The strong characters and major character development also enriches this epic adventure.What Final Fantasy game should i start with?Each FF game is independent of the other storywise, so you're free to jump into any one of them. Personally, I'd recommend IX since you expressed concern over not wanting to play the "old bit form" but IX is the last "classic" FF game in terms of the gameplay. X and on feature pretty big changes, such as linear paths, not being able to name your characters, and so on. That's not to say they're not good games of course... but if you want to start with a FF game that's more representative of the series as a whole then IX is a great place to start.

EDIT: Though I'll echo Will Yes' sentiment. If you really want to play one that's "new" then play FFX. It's a good game.What Final Fantasy game should i start with?
Final Fantasy X is good. also Final fantasy: crisis core from PSP is also good or you could play Final fantasy XII..What Final Fantasy game should i start with?it depends on what console your planning to start it on, 7 is very good but its only ps1. i would start with 10, its great and its new enough to play on ps2.
