I would strongly recommend Final Fantasy IV. I think it's the strongest in the series when it comes to storytelling.
SPOILERS IN LINK - Kasz, RubangB and I discussed it just a few months back. Rarely in a video game, are story, theme and character so masterfully woven together as they are in FFIV.
FFIV is widely regarded as one of, if not the, best in the series. FFIII, not so much... and not just in the western world. On a personal level, FFIII is the only mainline FF game I was unmotivated to finish, while FFIV is my favourite in the series.
Edit: Also, in terms of music, FFIV easily wins. It contains some of the greatest themes and songs in the series.
