Someone recommend me some Final Fantasy games.

I have never played a Final Fantasy game before (well, actually I had either 7 or 8 on the PsOne way back when but I never really played it) but I’ve decided to start since I just got a PS5 and much more of them seem to be on there than Xbox. I have played Kingdom Hearts so I’m familiar with a few of the characters, plus I think I have played one of the 360-era ones at some point but I can’t really remember. When I looked the other day 16 was on sale which looks like one of the most recent ones, is that a good one? Am I right in thinking there isn’t really an order to them? But a lot of them have the same characters so that’s a little confusing. Some explanations/pointers would be helpful. (I can already smell your enthusiasm for this topic Aifos)

    I actually haven't played too many Final Fantasy games, but I love Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. It's my most played game on Switch, and it should be on PS5 as well. If you have a DS, it's also got two sequels: FFCC: Ring of Fates, and FFCC: Echoes of Time. Echoes is good, Ring, er, not so much. Neither are as great as the original, though. They don't play like traditional Final Fantasy games, though. They're all about targeting rings, and it's really fun. You down a button to create a spell circle, aim it, and then release. You can also fuse spells together, and there's an online co-op mode. It's great. In multiplayer multiple players need to stack their spell rings on top of each other, but solo spells are fused through the menu. For something a bit more traditional, World of Final Fantasy is also very good. It's a monster catcher, like Pokemon, but with Final Fantasy monsters. A ton of different FF characters make appearances, but you don't actually need to know who any of them are in order to understand the story--I definitely didn't, and I understood just fine! The game does a good job of introducing them within the context of this world. This one also has spell fusions, because your monsters "stack" on top of each other. Like, literally, they stand on each other's backs and stuff. When stacked, they gain access to new powers, like two Fires becoming Fira, and such. This game is genuinely the best monster catcher I've ever played. It's amazing. It's not Final Fantasy, but another Square Enix jRPG you should pick up is Neo: The World Ends with You. This is genuinely one of, if not the best action RPG ever. It's so amazing. This game is *so* good that I don't even know how to tell you how good it is. Like, every facet of its design is just so amazing, I have no clue where to start. It's one of the few action games that really makes it feel like you and your party members are all working together, though. No single character on the team is taking the lead and beating all the baddies on their own. It's like a single player co-op game! Also, it has my single favorite cutscene in all of gaming. Edit: Also, most Final Fantasy games are independent of each other. They don't even take place in the same world, most of the time.
