FFIX - 9.5 One word: Vivi. I know many people that couldn't get into it after the "realistic" characters of VII and VIII, but I thought they were wonderful(and the fact that they were unique beyond looks is a HUUUUUUGE plus in my mind) and after a long wait I was once again drawn into a beautiful world.
FFX - 8 The only FF(well mainline, I did the same with X-2) to date that I started and had to return to quite some time later to finish. That's not a knock on it at all, just a consequence of broadening my tastes and taking on too many games at a time as well as being busier in general. The fact that I was able to get right back into the story without having to restart or ditch it altogether is testament to it being a good game in my mind.
