@NowhereMan If you have a lot of free time and you enjoy JRPGs in general, and you don't mind dealing with a bit of jankiness, I suggest playing the FF games in order of their original release! That's actually what I did, and I think it's a great way to experience them. Of course, I've only finished the first eight games in the series, and it's taken me 15 years...
FF6 is often the favorite entry in the series for classic gamers. FF6 is also a bit easier than the earlier FF games. FF6 has a big cast of memorable characters, and one of the all-time great video game plot twists occurs around the halfway point of the game.
FF7 is the most popular game in the series, and it's obviously a good starting point. FF9 would be a good choice as well.
And FF8 is a fun option if you want something a little different.
The newer FF games (everything beyond Final Fantasy X or so) have never appealed to me as much. However, I could be persuaded to give them a try.

Course clear! You got a card.
