May I suggest you make an exception for Final Fantasy Tactics?

I'd wager most people who have played it agree that it holds a very high standard, up there among the best of them.
The soundtrack alone is worth experiencing.

Either way that is quite the commitment. I hope you enjoy them.

As for your question, I think it'd be hard to answer, if it weren't for the fact that story is very important to me as those can leave the strongest impressions on me.

So I'll say I prefer Final Fantasy, but... I feel like the mainline Zelda series has been more consistently good than the mainline FF series.
A really good Final Fantasy game has a higher potential for me than a really good Zelda game. But they're not all really good. While most Zelda games I've played are.

Should I play Tactics after I play other FF games? Or what?

Tactics came out about the same time as FF7.  If you are playing them in order, then you could play it after 7.  Or you could just play it first.  It is really that good.  I think it deserves to be counted as part of the main series.  War of the Lions version is the definitive version, but the PS1 version is very good too.
