I started with FF9, and that one remains my favorite. I'm finishing up FF7, now. It's a great story, too, although the graphics don't compare. And I like more side quests (besides breeding chocobos...) I worked backwards, so it took a loooooong time to get motivated enough to finish FF8. I still don't know why I bothered. Then, I actually got distracted with FF Tactics, which was a cool story and neat system. FF10 was just....well...different. The voices kind of distracted a little. But I liked the ABS better, and it was a plus being able to switch out characters as needed.
