AS SOMEONE WHO HONESTLY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT FINAL FANTASY OR EVEN SEE THE APPEAL OF THE SERIES, WHY SHOULD I CARE?

If you do care, then honestly, FF is where it all started. Nothing's topping the story line, play style, and overall awesomeness that FF7 is. Hell, it's the only real reason I used my Kindle Fire at all.

But even then, I honestly don't find myself intrigued with the characters or stories of Final Fantasy. The writing (at least in some of the 3D games) comes across as awkward to me, and I don't really find a lot of the music memorable (which is weird since one of the Square Enix composers made what is in my opinion one of the best final boss themes ever in Mario and Luigi 3)
So yeah, now that I've given you all incentive to kill me :D

The best final fantasy game is 6 (3 for america on the snes)
Beautful 2D sprites, characters who are well fleshed out and likeable, and the music is some of the best video game music ever composed. If you could only play one game in all of final fantasy, this should be the one.
It was the first game to ever make me cry.
It was also the first FF game with a female lead character.
It also has one of the best villians of all time.
If i try to explain though it will detract from the exprence

To be fair, I did also like FF8 (which I know a lot of people hated) but not so much for the story (though, the side story of Laguna was awesome) but for the game play...and the card game. I'm a sucker for those side games. Same goes for FFX and Blitz Ball. Stopped playing after that one.

I DID started the series with 7, but I'm one who when starting at the middle will go back to look at the past, and I found the previous games to be much more likable and honest, with 4 being my actual favorite hands down.

TBH I wasnt a fan of rpg's besides the mario ones either, but then I played chrono trigger and that changed, although its not a final fantasy game I'd recommend it as Its my fave RPG closely followed by ff6.

I couldnt get into 8, way to depressing and i hated the draw system for magic
The plot for 8 is stupid anyway.

I myself didn't play a final fantasy game and my opinion was the same as yours hyper sonic, but then I play 7, which was all right, but I mostly did it to know why everyone thought it was great. afterwards, I played FF6 and I was hooked. It's an excellent game. Now I've almost beat all of the main series FF games, however I still need to find a copy of three so I could play that one.

Really, what kind of question is that?

Because it's good.There's nothing wrong with asking what makes a series so popular.

if your not really an rpg type and have no interest in them then you wont get anything out of them. But if you go in with an open mind and not prejudging them you can find your own gem that you and others that share what you like about certain rpg games made. ome people favor certain systems than others but you would have to see which one suits your taste. i liked FF7 very much, to me still one of the best made by them.

You really have to be into RPGs to like FF but, I will say there a lot better RPGs out there like Legend of The Dragoon, The Namco Tales games, Chrono Trigger, The Mana games, The first 3 Star Ocean games, Earthbound or in Japan Mother, The Castlevanias that have the Symphony of The Night Style know as Metroidvania, Digimon World games not including #4 that stunk, Lunar 1 and 2, The Suikoden series. That is to name a few old school good ones. Now and days it is more Mass Effect, Skyrim, Fallout, Dark Souls and so on which are good but, are more of a blend of RPG and other game styles which is not bad. though from what I have found it is easier for non RPG fans to get into MMORPGs after talking to people who are not RPG players. Things like Guild Wars 2, World of Warcraft, Star Wars The Old Republic, Tera, Rift, Aion and such. I like all those games though I do not like WOW so much any more and I have not Played SWTOR and I love Guild Wars 2 so far.
