Gotta say, the Final Fantasy series never really grabbed me. Though the argument in the OP seemed to be a little .. weak.
My personal favorites (not necessarily games I'd call the BEST in the genre) would have to be Shadow Hearts, Xenoblade, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, Persona 2, and Tales of the Abyss. Unfortunately, I missed out on a lot of classics from the PS1 as a kid since we never owned the console, and playing them now just doesn't have the same impact.
