I'm doing this too! Fell deeply in love with 7 Remake and 7 OG, so now I'm planning to go through ones I've missed now that new releases seem to be effectively paused (at least for games that I care about). Planning to go chronologically but might break it if people think there's a better order?
Right now I've got:
- IX
- XII
- The XIII Trilogy
- XIV Complete Edition
- XV
and hope to grab X whenever it goes on sale again on switch.
Think I'm most excited about XIV based on the reception I've seen around here, but I'm pretty nervous about jumping into an MMO. Is it pretty easy to get into for a new player?
Yup. Actually if you wanna hold off juuuuust a bit longer on jumping into XIV they are actually getting ready to drop a patch that streamlines the original storyline so people can get to the expansion content quicker. Its pretty easy to get into. Easy to play with both Keyboard or Mouse and the community is pretty friendly.
I wouldn't be too nervous. They've done a ton of great QoL work to ease new players into the game now. And if you need community support I think ERA has a Free Company on the Ultros server and Giantbomb also has their Free Company on Ultros which I'm a part of.
