what y u no like FFX and FFVI ;_;
but since you like the FFs I like, I suggest first ignoring the compilation and play FFIX or FFIV before getting into the clusterfuck that is FFVII canon.
The way I see it, if you really want to invest your time start by watching AC to give you a feel what the compilation is all about. You can read the On the Way to the Smile entries before or after this, it really doesn't matter. Then play CC - if you stick to the main game, it should only take you a few days to beat. After that, watch ACC - some of the added material would make more sense this way. Then play DOC last - it's the poorest entry and the last chronologically. Like CC, it will only take a couple of days to beat.
So essentially, you could probably be get caught up with the compilation within a week or two if you gather all your materials beforehand.
Heck, you can do all this without even wasting a whole ton of money on these subpar entries too! You can download AC/ACC from multiple torrent sites. Pirating Crisis Core onto your PSP for free is pretty easy using torrents as well. The On the Way to the Smile entries can be found online. I would really recommend you not buy Dirge of Cerberus, since you can probably beat it within one rental period. The only time I would say buy it is if the price is equal or less than the rental price (I got my copy for 5 bucks off a friend).
There's also Before Crisis, but I don't think anyone really gives a shit about it Just watch it online/read translations if you really want to know about it.
