If you want to start, and dont mind the old skool of it all, check out the FF remakes for the Nintendo DS. I think they've remade 4, 5 and 6 (in japanese numbers)
Final fantasy 7 is awesome, but dated. I believe there is a modding community out there updating the graphics and stuff for the PC but you need an original install.
Final fantasy 8 was ok, battle system was kinda cool
Final Fantasy 9 sucked in my opinion. Cool idea to get back to basics with the magics and stuff.. but I didnt enjoy it.
Final fantasy 10 - Heck of a long winded. Good and time consuming but because everything is spoken (ok, ALMOST everything) it's kinda long - on the whole not bad, but very different from 7 8 and 9 in the combat (turn based) and no real random encounters.
Final fantasy 10-2 - I suffered from girly pop poisoning. Interesting how they did the combat and "dress spheres", but really, I feel it's a girls game. Oh, and the (real) ending kinda defeats the ending of 10.
Final fantasy 11 - online MMO, havent tried it
Final fantasy 12 - Think Guildwars or WoW - there is no "combat" screen, it's all in 1 world. I gave up on it when I got walked over by a random fire elemental thing.I felt the FF series was starting to wear thin after this one.
Personally, I found 6 kinda cool because it wasn't focused on a main char, you were a team. I confess that I never did finish it though.
