Played all FF from FF1 on NES to FFXII on PS2. Never been tempted by FFXIII and FFXV. My favorites are FFVI, FFVII and FFVIII. FFIV and FFV are well worth playing too, if you have enough time

FFIX is a good one to start with. Well-executed port, visual style holds up well, plenty of variety in cast, locations and gameplay. It's more in the style of early-Rennaisance-with-magic that most of the Final Fantasy games are set in than the other PS1 era games (FFVII and FFVIII are more futuristic worlds).
All but a handful of the Final Fantasy games are standalone, so there is no 'order' to play them in. There are running 'themes' through the series like the Chocobos (large flightless yellow birds that serve a similar role to horses), the presence of airships, and commonplace magic, but nothing that's you'd really 'miss' playing the games in no particular order.
Been playing through Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. I really love the aesthetic and detail they put into the world, as with the previous game. The juxtoposition of the modern techno-architecture against the old-world buildings is really cool.

Always on iGPU my friend and it runs well there. One of the issues I have is freezing which I suspect is a result of having the operating system and game installed and accessing data on the same disk. Another issue I have is that the Steam Controller does not work with the game on my setup.

Man I really wanted to get DE: Human Revolution on sale but I haven't even played through the original one.
I don't recognize that 4th location, the appartment with the red sofa. Was it one of the other agent's ?Been playing through Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.

The game is a real masterpiece in environments and details. I had no issue being sent around the map to do various tasks even to areas I already visited, it was always an interesting journey. The missions and different settings inside the map made it a unique feeling every time.

Whoops, no coffee! Wasn't the 3rd image, was the 5th.
Awesome, will wait for a better revate on it then. Already have plenty of games to finish and I just bought SpeedRunners which runs well on HD4600.
I cancelled my Steam controller purchase as It seams to be pretty meh outside of Steam itself. Will have to find a good modern gamepad with good Linux support.
I'm a little ashamed to say that I haven't played the original, either. I tried once, but it was years after it came out and I couldn't get past the awful graphics. Which is weird, because I had played plenty of other 3D games on PC during that time (late 90s) and enjoyed them. Either this game didn't age well, or my standards had changed too much.
No, it belong to a guy named Oleg Drago. Not sure if he has any story significance yet. The only thing his emails reveal is that he gets augmentation-related headaches and he's a new customer of Palisade bank.
It's one of the cooler apartments I found, but easy to miss if you're not playing and looking around with a "can I get up there?" mindset. The apartment has floor to ceiling windows on both sides, with the one just offscreen to the right in the pic overlooking the Palisade bank plaza. The screenshot just below that is actually out on the apartment's balcony, looking down on the street below.
Here's another shot looking up from the street, you can see the balcony is on top of the magic shop:
Another from the other side, above the Palisade plaza. Here you can see the ladders you can climb to get up to it:
Lol, nice spot. I didn't even notice that when I took it. Totally unintentional.
There's a bunch of this Banksy-esque graffiti art around. Here's another shot of the same art from street level:
Except for the XBOX 360 controller, there aren't any. That is the fault of either game devs or the games themselves (if they are ports). You can emulate a XBOX 360 controller using xboxdrv.
