[Objective]

Get FF7 & 9 instead. Too much loading in FF8 unless the emulators fixed that shit which they probably did... Either way, this is my personal and often hated upon opinion: FF9 > FF7 > FF8. Heard a shitload of great things about FFIII (US: FF6, or something like that, might have mixed it up, never really got into the complications of whats what but you should be safe getting FF6) so you might consider getting an emulator for FF6 sometime. Its often mentioned in discussions like these and some even argue that its the best FF of all time. The remake of FFI & II for the PSP is dope as fuck as well, so there`s that. Might as well get Chrono Trigger while you´re at it. Finnish whatever FF game you want first, then jump strictly to Chrono Trigger and then whatever FF game you want after that. Should be your best option in order to achieve ultimate nerdgasm.
