FFT's story and gameplay is significantly better than any other FF. It's story is mature and very complex. It is not the cliche "bad guy seeks to destroy the world" that is the rest of the FF series, but much more political and deep. The gameplay is developed and engaging; random battles are more rare than in other games, but they also take much more thought and effort.

Ramza and Delita are also two of the best developed characters in the entire series.
