Up until FFX, you'd have some pretty boring movies. Before they introduced real 3D cutscenes with FFX, it was basically just characters standing in front of a background, spewing out text. I mean, in the context of the game, it's good stuff, but if you aren't playing them, it wouldn't be nearly as interesting. That, plus you'd miss out on a lot of things that aren't handled through cutscenes, like battles. If you just watched cutscenes, you'd never see the characters fighting. Imagine if you will, the cutscene before the final boss fight, and then suddenly skipping forward to the ending movie. Would be pretty crappy.

I suggest playing them if you're really interested in the stories and whatnot. Maybe start with FFX, it's probably the easiest to get into. It's not incredibly long and the dialogue isn't as drawn out as the previous games (probably because it uses voice acting).
