I've always been a big fan of the RPG genre, though I've never really found many to please me. Final Fantasy is one of those. I'd love to get into the series, but the linear and grinding fashion of Final Fantasy games have never really seemed interesting to me.
However, after being urged by fellow forum members, I bought Final Fantasy III awhile back. I played the game and liked it. Not a lot, just enough to not regret purchasing it with my mom's money.
Then I saw that Final Fantasy I was out on the iPod. I was never a fan of gimmicky games like Doodlejump and Tinywings, etc. so I decided to go with it. For an iPod game, it's amazing. I liked it quite a bit, a lot more than Final Fantasy III. It wasn't a great game, but something to burn time when all I have on me is my iPod.
I also bought Final Fantasy II for the iPod, and have regretted it ever since. It's just not fun. The story is not inviting, and constantly being forced to level grind just isn't for me.
That being said, more recent additions to the series look very interesting to me, though I don't want to make any more mistakes. I was considering getting Final Fantasy XIII for the Xbox, but I've heard it wasn't good. I saw Final Fantasy V on sale at a gamestop-like place and considered getting it, but didn't for some reason.
I do still consider myself a newcomer to the series, as I have yet to really discover what the series has to offer. I've heard time and time again that Final Fantasy is the best RPG series on the planet, though I've yet to see it. What games would you recommend I try out to get me into the series?
