(+) Yeah! (+)

In your opinion

Which console, handheld, or PC
---

The only FF i'm specific about playing is FF6 on the SNES.

Console but it's easier to just have them all on PC.
---

If emulator is not an issue play it all on that except XIII and XV, you should just, not play them at all.

FF 1 & 2 PSP
3 PC
4 PSP
5 & 6 SNES
7, 8, & 9 doesn't matter
X PC
XII PS4 releasing this Tuesday

Too many of these come down to specific questions about what you like to do in gaming. For example, if you like all the quirks of old school RPGs, then you should nab PS1's FF Origins compilation for FF1 and FF2, but if you're ok with losing challenge level but gaining modern gaming conventions and bonus content then you're better off with the Dawn of Souls compilation. As another example, if you're interested in speedrunning any given FF game, then you should investigate which version of that game is best for speedrunning.

Well, I suppose I should post my history with the series

I had Dawn Of Souls on Game Boy Advance. Beat 1, then struggled with 2, before finding out it was broken
I have III and IV on PSP, using a Vita
I do not have copies of V and VI but have tried them before
I have VII, VIII, and IX on PSN, meaning I can use it on PS3/PSP/Vita
I have not beat ANY of these except I. I'm starting III now on Vita
I also have XIV on PS4, but no sub currently.
