Poll of the Day » What Final Fantasy pixel remaster should I play first?
Played 1 and 2 like 20 years ago, haven't played the other 4. I recall 1 has a basic time loop plot and in 2 everybody dies

1 is very good and probably the most replayable of the lot. I rather adore 3, and 6 is the best of the bunch

so I'd just play them in order

The GBA/PSP versions with the bonus dungeons.
I love Lord Jesus, Family Matters (for Steve & Laura which I typed up a beautiful alt from Just One Date episode) and FFIX (for Zidane & Garnet).

I mostly agree, the pixel remasters are simply convenient.

Exceptions, FF6 is supreme on the SNES... all other ports, even the GBA one, mess something up.

I prefer 3 because it's simple with variety, a comfort game. 6 and 4 have the best stories, 5 is good all around. 1 is very simplistic but still fun. And they fixed the stat system with 2 which is nice.

FF1 is easy to play, because nostalgia carries a lot of the load for me.

Same reason I'd happily play DQ 1, 2, or 3, but lose interest in pretty much everything after that.

The SNES version had a lot of bugs and mistranslations.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense.

Those are minor issues compared to overall visual and audio fidelity and smoothness of play

Hard disagree, but you do you.

That's basically 75% of my library too. Playing more for nostalgia than anything.
I'm playing one for the first time and enjoying it. Are two or three worth playing? I liked four through ten

I rather like 3, but it is a mixed bag.

If you've played all the others then you might as well see what they're about. I haven't played 2 since the GBA remake came out in 2004 so I don't remember much but it has a sort of odd Zelda 2 sort of reputation with its weird leveling systems and stuff.

3 I really hated when I played on the DS in 2006. Even when they tried to put in some flavour for the characters and story I found it to be a veeeery bland grind-heavy slog. Like an ancient version of Bravely Default. Maybe that comparison appeals to you though.

there's the problem - the 3D remake is disasterously slow

I'd probably see a bit more in it as an adult than I did as a teenager but it made a strongly negative impression on me that wasn't entirely because of slow pace. Unless you mean they raised xp requirements or there were performance issues or something.
