Also nthing FFX as a starting point, and then after he gets sucked in, let him play all the games but 8 and 13 (Except Lightning Returns, which should be played).

Also he probably should play 8 and 13. Let people make opinions for themselves. I still have my copy of 8 in my room waiting to be put in my computer if I'm feeling bored and believe it or not there are people who like 13 on this very forum!

Do you guys think VII's graphics are too dated for a newbie? VII has the best storyline, probably, but the pixel men are bit out there. |

Wait until the remake, definitely.

You sayin' I like dudes?

I still feel like X is the best entry into the franchise despite several people in this thread dancing around it. Especially when you consider the HD remaster, all around the best option until the new VII hits the shelves.
I would argue against XIII because while not as horrible as people say it is, it does depart from a lot of staple Final Fantasy tropes (open world is a big one, here). |

Don't start with XIII, no, but its definitely something he should try and form an opinion about himself. My recommendation is still FFVI personally. I've never played X so I can't really comment there.

>7 has the best storyline
Get the fuck out. 7 had a decent story, but it wasn't as good as 9's. |

X's story was good, but FUCK TIDUS WHAT A WHINY PRICK.
9's characters are all enjoyable and relatable. |

X is....well....what Concept said. I loved it when I first played it, but my recent replay didn't go so well.
IX is one of the few I replayed and still enjoyed. IV wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. VIII is widely hated, but I don't recall hating it. I disliked the level scaling (I always felt the need to grind up to lv 99 in those days), but I don't remember the story or anything. I know visually it was an improvement over VII's sex doll sprites. Don't remember XII. I still have it, so I should replay it sometime. If we go outside of the numbers, Tactics has to be my favorite. |

Dragoons are really good against Shinryu.

You got the Neo Garula encounter and you're not 100% Bestiary.

So I finally got FFTA2!
And it's mediocre. I personally preferred original Tactics and TAdvance but whatever. The first mission is actually pretty challenging since I thought I could just mindlessly rush it like usual while watching a movie and to my surprise ir was actually fairly difficult. While I'm looking forward to what else if has to offer I'm honestly not too sold on how Laws work now. While they were restricting in FFTA, they were pretty fun and you could manipulate which Laws to have, which this just flat out seems to not have. I did just leave the first... country? though so ymmv |

guys how the fuck am i supposed to beat omega and shinryu
I'm at the Rift and trying to work out my Omega strat. Thundaga Spellblade will obviously be the key offensive strat for me, but the hard part will be staying alive long enough to pull it off... Your thoughts? I'm obviously equipping Flame Rings (and the Ice Shield to the Mystic Knight, who gets Hermes Sandals), but my plan for the White Mage and Dancer is to "spam Curaga/Shell when possible". My fourth class is Ninja as a reminder. |

Spam Curaga / Dual Wield Thundaga Spellblade and hope Circle doesn't bone you.
Shinryu is much the same except with Flare Spellblade.

Debating Berserking Shinryu and trying to just tank him but we'll see if that's feasible.
