Where to even start with Final Fantasy? (self.gaming)

I’ve been wanting to jump in on the final fantasy universe for a while now but I’m not sure where to start.

To be clear, I don’t have hundreds of hours to play the whole series. Someone told me that each game tends to be somewhat separate from the series as a whole.

So what is the most recent game in the series that I can start with that is worth it to play and wouldn’t confuse a newcomer?

There's no "final fantasy universe". Every numbered entry (or its remake) is a good entry point. It's not that each game tends to be somewhat separate from the series, each of the games is completely separate. They don't share characters or even worlds. Some are high fantasy, some are almost sci-fi.

I'd recommend the FF7 Remake. It's old enough for you to grab it at a cheaper price, and new enough to have pretty accessible game mechanics.

FF7 Crisis Core is a prequel to FF7 and pretty great, but it is a PSP game.

They literally remade this last year for modern systems as Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion. doesn't have to be limited to the PSP anymore.
