I would recommend avoiding 2, but beyond that the world is your oyster. Marathon them in order if you like.

Start with 7. It's just a good starting place for newcomers. Then I'd play 9 since it's also very user friendly to the newcomer.
Then I would play 6 and introduce yourself to a little more diversity in classes and such.

Really, up until like, late disk 3 is really nice and comfy, after that you have to put up with typical FF story stuff.

Now I want to play FFIX but I don't want to pull out my PS2 to do so (PS3 has too much latency to get 100/100 nobles impressed).

Not at all. You don't owe anyone anything. As for the original hardware, quite often it's simply inferior.

>Steiner
His 9999 move costs a shitload more MP than Freya's, isn't guaranteed unlike Freya's, and he has a lot less max MP than Freya. Worse in every way.

>Dagger
Summons don't even come close to 9999 damage, so no point in using them. And she's a worse white mage than Eiko since she doesn't get Full Life or Holy.

>Vivi
Same problem as summons. Even with Auto-Reflect & Reflect x2 (a hefty ability investment) he doesn't guarantee 9999, whereas Quina's ability does, again for a lot less MP.

That said, Dagger does have SLIGHT merit with Odin's Sowrd, since she can quickly clear random battles rather than having to fight them by summoning Odin. But when it comes to bosses she is shit.

You seem to have missread my post.

I said I want to play it, but I'd have to pull out my PS2 to play it on, instead of playing it on my PS3, which is currently hooked up. The reason I'd play it on my PS2 instead of the PS3 is because of a small amount of input lag on the controls which makes it impossible to do a few small things in game (such as impress 100/100 nobles, and do the jump rope game).

I can emulate it, sure, but I prefer to play on actual hardware instead of emulating it.

Eh, I never played more than a couple hours of X, but X-2 is one of my top three favorite FF games simply because of the combat system. The story isn't that great, and neither are the characters, but I'll be dammed if it isn't a ton of fun.

Yeah, fuck that shit. I just cheated and played through it a second time picking the other side, since the other cutscenes give you about 6%, so you can make up for any mistakes the first time.

I beat Ultimacia by the skin of my teeth. I had unlocked nothing except magic. I was actually on death's door. Over the 40 minute battle, everyone had died one by one, leaving only Zell left. By then, he had so much of his junction magic absorbed that his stats were pitiful. With no cures left, I went all in with one last Limit Break... and won.

It was amazing.
