Best: Final Fantasy 8 - It perfected what was started with Final Fantasy 7, had the best story sequences, the best music, best secondary characters, among the best primary characters. Graphically beautiful and revolutionized by mixing CG cutscenes with gameplay. It also took the AP system to a whole new level and added in multiple methods to power up characters (not sure why so many think drawing is the only way, and never use refine skills).
Runner up: Final Fantasy 6, second best music, best primary characters, really cool steampunk setting that became a staple of the series, Biggs (Or Vicks) and Wedge, had multiple main characters, a very dark second half.
I like all FF games, but those two stood out for me.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
