Sounds like you gave up on too many of 'em, however - I only play the FF's with story. The beautiful part of the Square RPGs is that there are series for everyone... just about. While I'm commenting - the best of success with Law School, XZero!
My Ten Cents...
FFIV: My introduction to SNES RPGs as a whole, and the beginning of my life-long love affair with Squaresoft - hey, that's what it used to be...
FFVII: Tried, tried, tried - but got tired of the battles and cumbersome leveling. Still, love the characters, music, and story.
FFIX: Instantly infatuated with the story, though it took me a little bit of getting used to the bobble-head character design. I flat-out amazed by the smoothness of the animation and the cinematic style of the game in general. This soundtrack is one of my favorites, naturally - with "You're Not Alone" still right up top.
FFX: There are a number of noticeable flaws in this game - animation transitions, for instance, but those are easily forgiven. I have to admit that one of my peeves is the change in music styles one from composer to the next. All is forgiven if Nobou's been devoting himself to FFIV DS... need I say I love the characters in this one? Tidus' voice acting grows on you, he sounds like a twerp at first.
Oh... and how many people here are old enough to recognize the influence of "Someday the Dream Will End"?
FFXII: Fantastic story, immense world development, but the epic music really isn't memorable! As I'm in the midst of playing it - moreso aching to play FFIV DS, we'll see how it goes. It is thoroughly enjoyable, and worth the time! How many CGs are on this thing I wonder? It's incredible.
^-^
FFIV DS: First impressions... Cecil sounds try to his whiny self. Good! Unless I'm mistaken the VOs are British, are they not? The graphics look impressive, top notch for the DS. Frankly I'm amazed the whole things going to be Voice Acted. Yeesh... I understood that there is MORE prologue story playable in the DS version, compared to the GBA's version's epilogue... some trailers show Cecil walking into Mysdia as a player controlled character.
Too much to hope?
