I've been on reddit for 13 years, and have used rif for 12. Maybe the most used app I've ever had, was always a staple download whenever getting a new device. Just a damn shame this is happening.
That being said, this is my first post on kbin. Here's to hoping this community can grow and we can collectively move on from reddit's mess as it withers away from their pride and greed.
FF7 Remake is good for a modern experience and you can change the combat playstyle.
FF14 is a really solid game with very high highs, but is incredibly long and has the MMO aspect, though they have since made the game's story and all main dungeons entirely playable single-player, if you want to play alone. Shadowbringers is one of the greatest stories I've experienced in gaming.
FF7 is the favorite for a reason, but it doesn't hold up as well today. FF6 is also a hugely popular fan favorite, and is the last of the SNES era graphics.
My advice - start with one of those. FF4 and FF9 are a solid choices too.
