Thinking of picking up a cheap PS2 and a copy of a Final Fantasy game.
Where would you recommend I get a secondhand PS2 from (preferably a place that gives a few months guarantee)?
Which final Fantasy should I start with?
But also I need to know about the presentation of the games as at the moment cacky japanese music really doesn't appeal to me. There's not to much singing in them is there? And there aren't to many squeaky characters that I can't immediately push off a cliff.... hopefully?
What's good and what sucks?

Ok, will probably pick up a PSone with FF's 7+8 for a few quid then.
7 onwards
When did they stop being just top-down view affairs (aka like the old zeldas)? They are now in the third dimension right?
Play em all and decide for yourself, don't listen to these FREAKS
Ok seems like there's only the online one on PC. PS1 sounds like a good idea how far up does FF go on the PS1? and how far back should I go before the FF games become awful?
I have played 1-2 (and I think 3) on the PC briefly and didn't like 'em.
However I have gone through Gladius, KOTOR, (most of) Morrowind, LOTR:Third Age and many others so I'm hardly unexperienced in RPGs if anyone's wondering. :)

Yuss get 9.
Basically has the simplest system and the best graphics combination.
7's a tad complicated, with the materia and the multiplying properties and all, but 9's really idiot proof, and impeccably easy as well.
You don't "hate" any of the characters, as such, in stark contrast to FFX.
Tidus is teh epitomeh of jackass. As is Wakka, Auron, LuLu, Kimahri...
Avoid 10 and 8 at all costs m'lud.

Oh and the perfect sonic hairstyles and long coats and bright blue eyes...grrrr
My ears bled when I heard that women singing in FFVIII. I might have to start playing that again actually.
Hmmmm. Sounds good although I'm still concerned about the music and the likelyhood of characters with eyes as big as saucers.
I think I might pick up one on PC before I go buying a console for a game I'm not 100% sure about.
What FF would people recommend I get on PC?

7 is the best ever, although if you've never played an RPG before or a FF, I'd recommend 9 first.
Only get Dark Chronicle if you want a few hours of goodness, then several tonnes of irritating, pointless, repetitive and uninteresting gameplay.
