I can't reccomend VI, honestly. It's a game that, imo, while fun at first, gradually gets worse and worse. The villain, while funny in the English versions, is worse than Sephiroth at actually having motivation. The music, while not terrible, is definitely the weakest soundtrack prior to X-2. The graphics eventually start to become less "dark and gritty for a dark world" and more "Gawd this is boring can I look at Final Fantasy V please."
As for a starting point, don't play any original Famicom Final Fantasy. Remakes are fine, but the original 8-bit ones will murder you easily.
Really, if you want to see "classic" Final Fantasy, check out V, VII, and IX for ATB, and X and III DS for classic turn-based goodness. I'd recommend VIII after playing one other ATB game, because the junctioning system can catch you off-guard if it's your first.
Really, as long as it isn't II, VI, or VIII, any game before XI is a good starting point.
