I've almost always played the Final Fantasy series for the stories! I mean some of the best fictional characters ever conceived. The reason why I was never able to perceiver with FFI-III is because they're not quite as story driven as the rest of the series, well at least in my opinion. They're always talk of a next gen remake of FFVII but to be honest I'd much rather see FFIV-VI brought to life in HD just as long as their stories aren't changed!

The only game in the series I can say hooked me in in the game play department was FFXII. FFXII was the only one of the games where I didn't find level grinding mind numbingly boring. I've clocked up almost 400 hours of game play on FFXII. I didn't even use the gambit system that much apart from for basic healing. I just loved how hands on you could get with the real time battles if you really wanted too.
