Welcome to TFF Jaycup! I hope you enjoy your time here at forums. As for your question I'm kinda biased because IX is my favorite and I would def recommend you play through it, a truly fantastic game all around. I just played through it again and loved every minute of it and I'm gonna play FFX now.

One last thing, if you have ever Role Played or are interested in RPing we're trying to get people more excited about RPing around here at the forums so take a look at Ramuh High and feel free to jump in! We're having a great time with it so just come and have fun with us if you want. Once again welcome to TFF!
