Should I start with FF7 or FF10?

Start with Final Fantasy X (FFX) for a more accessible, modern-feeling introduction with turn-based combat and a complete story, or choose Final Fantasy VII (FFVII) (especially the Remake version) for a beloved classic that defined the series' shift to 3D, though its original combat feels dated compared to FFX. Since each numbered Final Fantasy game is a standalone story in a new world, you can't go wrong, but FFX offers easier entry with its smoother systems and widespread availability, while FFVII (Remake) provides stunning visuals and action-oriented combat.
