Soul series is the modern Final Fantasy imo.

I liked FF7 but after that it got way too much into "J-POP Backstreet Boys RPG" territory. I don't understand at all why Squaresoft thought that was a smart direction to go in. IX was good too, but it was the last one that was really free of that Boy Band/Pop Girl aesthetic. 

Shoot, forgot about 9. Yes, that  one I liked.

The FF games peaked with 6, 7, Tactics, 8, and 10.

FF9 was generic and lame.
