So after playing a bit of FFIV on switch and getting stuck at Baigan I've decided ATB just kinda isn't my vibe. I enjoy turn-based games and action games though, so I thought it would make most sense to maybe start from X and then move on to the action games in the series, (hopefully XIII will come soon before I get to XV). I've played FFVII Remake and liked it, though I'm sure I didn't master the mechanics at all lol. Do you think I can still have a valid final fantasy experience skipping most the series (atb games)?

Thanks for the input! My previous plan was to start from VII and play the PS1 games from there. I messed around w/ VII a little but the ui kinda confused me (something I could get used to) and atb was being atb (I could maybe set it to wait and have a better go of it). VIII and IX stories seem really interesting to me. So it's on my radar definitely. I should give these games another shot. I could get better, I'm just not used to rpgs that require timing is all. So many people claim X is peak FF (aside from VI) so I was scared of starting there and everything else feeling downhill. I'm strangely looking forward to the newer titles. I only have PS5 and Switch so I won't be able to play XIII anytime soon looks at Square

There's nothing wrong with setting it to wait, if that works for you, go for it! As always with older games, there's the quirks and growing pains, but if you can get past them it's a fantastic game.
