I wouldn't necessarily say 'no' to IX, it is one of my faves and it was also my first FF. I think it depends on what you like.
If you really like sci-fi and action, you should probably go with FFVII. FFVIII is more realistic and romantic and is focused on a special military group. FFIX is VERY fantasy and is kind of medievalish. I was really into Zelda when I first played it, so I really liked it. X is also really fantasy, but not at all like in IX. It's more mature and romantic, and more spiritual. XII is about politics, imperialsim, and war, but I would not reccomend it for a first time. It does not represent the series well, as it was done by a different team.
I can't say anything for the games below VII, as I have yet to play them. Just DO NOT start with a sequal like X-2 or "Dirge of Cerberus". You'll be totally lost.
