For me, it’s one of two choices:
Final Fantasy VIII - It’s one of my favourite entries in the series and think they’ve ignored it far too much over the years. There’s a lot they could do with it, not just visually, but with the story and mechanics too.
Final Fantasy Tactics - This game is just fantastic all round, and I can’t say any more than that.
What would you choose?
I would say VIII & IX would be good choices. I’d like to play those in the vein of VIIR
Agree on IX, it often feels a little bit like it gets forgotten next to VII & VIII of the PS1 FF games
