Final Fantasy X is probably my favorite Final Fantasy of all time. Just don't play X-2, assume the story ends immediately.
The HD remaster has some "cheats" to smoothen your experience, if you ever want to give it another shot:
This way you can enjoy the story and move quickly through the game.
If you don't enjoy turn based battles nor grinding I think this IP is just not for you. Definitely nothing before Final Fantasy 12. Maybe Final Fantasy 12 is ok, though I thought the story was on the weak side.
Ha, yes I heard X2 was pretty universally disliked.
I have really tried to like Final Fantasy. Over the years I have tried plyaing a few of them, like the FF 13 - 2 Lightning (?) demo, whichever game had "Lightning" in the title. I didn't really like it. I suppose the only Final Fantasy I will ever like is FF Tactics.
IMO, if I am going to use that many cheats just for the story, I might as well just watch the game "movie" or whatever on YouTube.
13-2 is one of the worst ones, to be honest.
It was "Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII."
I tried it whenever it was like brand new. I think I tried the demo before the game even launched on Xbox 360, though I can't be certain. I don't really remember much about what I played except the main character had pink hair I think and there was a lot of blue or like, ice on the screen.
Also tried FF 7 (the original on PSX) and FF 4 on SNES. I haven't tried Crisis Core, but I did have it on the list of games to try, even though its not a mainline game.
Lightning Returns was boring AF. I tried to play it like 4 times but I just can't. It's awful.
